Stealth trio at the WorldCup MTB champs in Canberra

Now here's a sight for sore eyes: a trio of Stealths tripping around at Triple Treat during the Downhill finals in the recent World Cup MTB Championships in Canberra. For those interested, the Fighter is the bike closest to camera, with 2 Bombers behind, with the farthest bike running Marzocchi triples.

Look out for more in the coming months, there will be Stealths available in Canberra for demonstration rides and at select events. Expressions of interest can be sent to quietrushATgmailDOTcom.

Stealth Fighter-First ride impressions

After seeing the recent release of the Stealth Fighter from StealthElectricBikes, I headed down to Melbourne to meet with John and check out the bike up close. I've had a long history with 2 wheels, across BMX, MTB  (touring and racing) and dirtbikes so this product represents a very interesting hybrid between these interests, packaged into an environmentally friendly platform. I'd been progressively moving away from my Dirtbike inclinations, knowing the issues associated with trail access, noise pollution and safety. 

Let me say upfront that this bike is sensational!

Immediate first impressions were:

1. How quiet it was;
2. How easy to ride it was - I'd quite happily let my mother loose on one of these;
3. The balance in weight distribution was spot on;
4. That it's still possible to get a great workout on one. I was able to reach a training heart rate of 160bpm no trouble at all;
5. That it is set to redefine the  MTB experience and riding a bicycle, period.

A vote of thanks to John Karambalis for his generosity of time in allowing me the test ride, and performing the photographer role.
