Electric Motor System

The Mahle X30 e-drive system delivers just the right level of assistance - light, quiet, and so seamlessly integrated, it fades into the background. Designed for mixed-terrain exploration, it offers a natural ride feel, an impressive range of 90km off one charge, and low-maintenance performance. With a lighter weight and over-the-air software updates, it’s as easy to live with as it is to ride.

Groupset

Shimano Tiagra delivers impressive entry-level performance, drawing on technology cascaded from Shimano’s top-tier groupsets. The smooth, dependable shifting of the 2x10-speed Tiagra drivetrain ensures consistent performance in all conditions—perfect for riders building confidence and pushing their limits. Hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, responsive stopping power, instilling confidence on high-speed descents and in wet or unpredictable weather. Whether you're commuting, training, or exploring new routes, Tiagra is built to support your journey, mile after mile.

Wheelset

Designed to ride smoother and faster on dirt, gravel, and road, you can ride it all with confident control with the lightweight, durable, and responsive Mavic Allroad wheels with integrated MAHLE X30 motor. Paired with 40mm Schwalbe G-One tyres, this versatile combination is equally at home on hidden dirt tracks or fast-paced road rides.

Handlebars

Ribble alloy bars are built for real-world riding, with a compact shape that makes it easy to move between tops, hoods and drops. The ergonomic profile helps reduce pressure and keeps things comfortable, mile after mile. Paired with a matching alloy stem and wrapped in soft bar tape, it’s a setup that feels right from the first pedal stroke—whether you’re heading out for an hour or all day.
