Four-Bar Suspension
Utilizes four pivot points (pivots) and oversteer to optimize shock travel and overall bike handling characteristics. This arrangement allows the rear wheel axis to be independent of crank and braking movements, providing better traction and efficiency.
Minimizes pedal kickback. Ensures optimum power transfer to the pedals. Rear wheel follows the terrain better, improving grip.
Independent Geometry & Shock Rate Flip Chip
This type of Flip Chip allows independent adjustment of frame geometry and suspension progression. The Independent Geo & Shock Rate Flip Chip system usually consists of two adjustable points:
- Geo Flip Chip - changes the wheel geometry
- Shock Rate Flip Chip - adjusts the suspension progression
Benefits: dual adjustment, Greater versatility, Better shock fit

Carbon fibre
E-bikes that use carbon fiber are a common choice among amateur and professional cyclists. Previously, it was mainly road e-bikes, but today you can enjoy the benefits of carbon on almost any type of e-bike. It remains an ideal choice among lovers of fast driving and off-road driving. The main advantage of e-bikes with a carbon frame is exceptional shock and vibration damping, they resist corrosion and wear very well and, compared to other materials, they excel in their low weight.
Bosch Performance Line CX 5th generation engine
The 5th generation motor offers 85 Nm and a peak power of 600 W. Thanks to the magnesium housing, it is lighter (2.8 kg) and quieter. The new mounting system makes installation easier. Improved sensors measure rider inputs more accurately, ensuring a more natural power transfer. The motor has hill-start and walk assist for added comfort. Lower weight improves maneuverability and component durability. Auto mode automatically adjusts terrain assistance. Compatibility with Bosch smart systems allows tracking of ride details, making planning and the ride itself easier.
Bosch PowerTube 600
Bosch PowerTube 600 and 800 offer higher capacity and lower weight. The PowerTube 800 weighs 3.9 kg, 400 g less than previous 750 Wh models, while providing a longer range. The new batteries are more compact, improving the handling of the electric bikes. In addition, they are made with the environment in mind, using recycled materials and renewable energy.
Both batteries - the 600 Wh and 800 Wh - have the same length of 435 mm, which is almost 5 cm less than the 750 Wh version (484 mm). This shorter design is made possible by the use of advanced 21700 cells and a modified cross-section. The advantage of the same length is compatibility with a single bracket, meaning that if the frame has sufficient space for an 800 Wh battery, a 600 Wh model can also be used. This gives greater flexibility in choosing battery capacity.
