Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want a long travel, full power eMTB for steep, rough descents, uplift style days and bike parks.
Standout strength
170mm of travel front and rear with Bosch Performance Line CX power and a 600Wh battery.
The main compromise
Around 22 kg and long travel make it more than many riders need, and top builds pass $20,000.
Consider something else if
Your riding is mostly flowing trail, where the shorter travel Vala is lighter and more efficient.
Check before you buy
Confirm motor output and the Australian assist limit with the dealer, as the AU page does not state them, and check which model year is in stock.
