Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
Enduro racers who want a lightweight, high pivot e-MTB that rides closer to an analogue bike than a full power Rail+.
Standout strength
170mm of high pivot OCLV Mountain Carbon suspension paired with TQ's lighter, quieter mid drive system instead of a heavier full power motor.
The main compromise
TQ's HPR60 motor trades outright climbing power for weight and natural feel, riders wanting maximum assist should look at the Bosch powered Rail+ range instead.
