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.

Standout strength
Same 45Nm motor and hydraulic brakes as the rest of the entry Ascent range, at the same price as the Ascent 24.

What is the range of the VelectriX Ascent 27.5?
The VelectriX Ascent 27.5 has a claimed range of 50 to 50 km from its 378Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.

How much does the VelectriX Ascent 27.5 weigh?
