Where it falls short
The G-FORCE RS ST has a huge battery, but that adds weight. At 29.9 kg, it is heavier than many rivals. The hub motor may not feel as natural as a mid-drive on trails. Also, the warranty is not published, which is a risk.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who want maximum battery capacity for the money. It also suits those who prioritize range over weight. If you ride long distances and charge infrequently, this could work.
- You want a large battery for long commutes or tours.
- You are on a budget and want a fast-class e-bike.
- You don't mind a heavy bike and can handle its weight.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or a mid-drive motor. Also, if you want a warranty, this model may not be for you. Consider other mtb e-bikes with published warranties.
