Bosch, hub gear belt driven MTB?
Is there a dedicated high end Bosch with hub gear and belt MTB? Not talking about the R&M Superdelite - I have one, which is a decent MTB but more an all rounder. Also too expensive to want to thrash on the trails much. I’m looking for something like a Trek Rail with hub gear and belt, but coming up empty, does anybody make such a beast?

Right, mid-drive with a gear hub and belt - just like the R&M Superdelite as I mentioned which is exactly that. I’m looking for a more mtb focused (and cheaper) bike to thrash out on the trails.

I haven't seen anything but the Delites. It is an odd combo for most MTB riders but will 100% agree R+M doesn't really make a mountain bike as the suspension kinematics aren't great it is an awesome full suspension bike but I would much rather have a Specialized Levo for actual mountain biking (yes I know not Bosch but a really solid mountain bike). Belt tension would be the biggest thing to contend with and R+M does it well but even on the Delite Mountain the suspension set up leaves a lot to be desired.
People do frequently ask why I didn't go SuperDelite but I like my SuperCharger, I didn't feel I needed or wanted full suspension as I am not going much off road and want more frame space and a café lock and one less thing to go wrong and to pump and also one less expense having to upgrade to Kashima coating (I got a Fox 36E Factory for the bike)
