Designed around the compact Shimano EP8 motor, the aptly named Megawatt shares a strikingly similar profile, right down to the counter- rotating four-bar suspension, with the acoustic version that has racked up three consecutive EWS World Championship titles.

Pros
  1. Superbly tuned suspension
Cons
  1. XT brakes are grabby
