Functions and details
More torque
Power: The maximum torque of 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on riding behavior. This makes it possible to accelerate faster, especially at low cadences, and starting off on steep terrain is made much easier. This gives you more power directly at your disposal, even in difficult gears.
Natural riding dynamics
Precise 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.
Perfect control
Equipped for all challenges: 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.
Sporting efficiency
Go for a sporty riding style and up your game – the Tour+ mode makes it possible. The riding mode rewards your slightly higher effort with energy efficiency: If you pedal harder, the drive increases your support. By contrast. if the ride is easy, you hardly need the support and save power. This means the battery discharges more slowly. This will extend your ride – and your fun.
