La META POWER SX BOSCH no solo es capaz de ofrecer sesiones épicas gracias a su generoso recorrido y su configuración mullet, sino que además es una gran herramienta para cualquier amante de la montaña. El fotógrafo afincado en Whistler, Tyler Ravelle, comparte esta opinión. Nos acompañará en una sesión fotográfica con nuestro rider y freeskier WeiTien Ho.
“La META POWER SX BOSCH me permite ir un poco más lejos que antes. Como fotógrafo, llevo mucho equipo. La e-bike es simplemente una extensión de este mismo equipo. Me permite llegar a zonas a las que no podría acceder de otra forma. En lugar de salir e intentar obtener muchas imágenes, nos centramos en los momentos clave.” - Tyler Ravelle

I've been riding the non-powered META SX for the last three summers and have really come to trust the build quality. With the new Bosch motors in the e-bikes, I was instantly curious. As an action sports photographer who loves bringing flashes and far too many lenses into the mountains, having a tool like an e-bike allows me to become more creative without slowing anyone down.
What I like the most is that even with a camera bag on, it's still super fun to ride. What would typically be a sufferfest ride is now easy and efficient. I'm no longer a burden on the crew, and we can now venture further than we could before.
This was my first summer with this e-bike, and it allowed me to open up a broader spectrum of creative ideas. New locations, new techniques, and with fewer limitations. Carrying additional items such as tents, sleeping bags, more food, and tools without worrying about time restrictions was effortless. This freedom allowed us to really dive into the perfect light without stress.
I'm 100% riding more and I couldn't be more stoked about it. I’m based in Whistler, and on days when I have a ton of editing and emails to do, I wouldn't normally have the time to sneak out for a big pedal. But now, with the e-bike, I know I can smash so much out in an hour and then get back to work. It's been a game-changer! I've actually been more productive when I'm in the studio because of it.
You can definitely expect more of these in the pipeline. Anytime we can include a storytelling element into these action shoots, the images have so much more life. This was one of my best projects of the summer, and we're already scheming what we can do next. I'm so thankful for another epic tool in the kit, thanks to my friends at COMMENCAL. With their stacked team of athletes, we have so much talent to work with. I can't wait to see what we'll get up to next year.
