Powering uphill

The maximum torque of 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on your riding behavior when you’re eMountan biking.

Sporty and economical

This provides for a natural riding sensation in every situation, even during extended rides.

More torque

Powerful: The torque of up to 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on riding behaviour. This accelerates faster, particularly at low cadences, and makes uphill starts much easier. You therefore have more power available in difficult gears.

Extended Boost

Impressive performance on the trail: Extended Boost is a unique function that helps you ride smoothly over roots, steps and stones, even when going uphill. With this function you can maneuver with greater ease and agility on technically challenging trails.

Perfect control

Ready for any challenge. The enhanced eMTB mode ensures better control on the trail, without having to switch riding modes. The motor reacts much more sensitively to your use of power, especially in low gears, and enables extremely smooth starting.

Sporty efficiency

Adopt a sporty riding style and get further as a result – the Tour+ mode makes it possible. The riding mode rewards your slightly higher power input with energy efficiency: if you pedal harder, the drive will give you correspondingly increased support. If things are going easily, you hardly need the support, saving power. This means the battery discharges more slowly. This will extend your ride – and your riding enjoyment.

Natural riding dynamics

Finely measured support: The powerful 32-bit processor ensures particularly fast processing of sensor signals. Power can be controlled more precisely, which offers you the optimum support in all riding situations.

Thermal stability

For highest loads: the drive unit has high efficiency and is thermally extremely stable, thanks to the modern electric motor with modern bar winding. This ensures high performance even under heavy load.

FAQs & More

You can update your motor at your bike dealer. Please contact your dealer regarding any costs.

You can combine the Tour+ mode with the following modes: Eco, eMTB, Turbo. You can not combine Tour+ with the Tour mode or with the Sport mode. 

Extended Boost is a new and innovative feature in eMTB mode. The unique dynamics make it easy to ride over obstacles by applying the right amount of pressure to the pedal. The pedals rarely, if ever, jam. If the front wheel is already on the step, slight pressure on the pedals is all it takes to give the decisive "kick" This takes pedal management to a whole new level.
