Description

The CGR E Carbon-X blends everyday practicality with smooth electric assistance and a lightweight carbon frame, offering a more upright and confident riding position for greater comfort and control. Weighing just 12.0 kg, it pairs a sleek carbon monocoque frame with internal cable routing and the near-silent MAHLE X20 e-drive system for smooth, natural-feeling assistance when you need it most. SRAM’s fully wireless Apex XPLR AXS groupset delivers a wide gear range for steep climbs and mixed terrain. Durable Mavic Allroad wheels and 40mm Schwalbe G-One tyres keep things fast, stable, and composed, whatever your ride.

Electric Motor System

The MAHLE X20 e-drive system gives you lightweight, natural-feeling power that kicks in when you need it. It’s whisper-quiet, stealthily tucked away, and delivers up to 140 km of assistance, or more than 200 km with the optional range extender. With 55 Nm of torque and a larger 350 Wh battery, it helps you up climbs, across rough ground and through longer days in the saddle. The intuitive Duo handlebar control unit puts unmatched control of your ride at your fingertips. You can even set the system to respond to your effort or heart rate, so it’s always working how you want it, whether you're training, rebuilding fitness or just riding for the love of it.

Electric Motor System

Groupset

Apex is built for riders who demand versatility and solid performance. Its 1x12 drivetrain gives you a wide range, perfect for gravel, bikepacking, and everything in between. Wireless shifting is smooth, reliable, and precise, while hydraulic disc brakes give you control in all conditions. With full AXS connectivity, you can tweak your settings, check battery life, and update firmware straight from your phone. Simple to use, Apex keeps you focused on what matters most: the ride.

Groupset

Wheelset

Ride smoother, faster, and further, wherever the road (or trail) takes you. Lightweight and tough, the Mavic Allroad wheels with integrated MAHLE X20 motor deliver responsive power and confident control across any terrain. Paired with 40mm Schwalbe G-One tyres, it’s a setup that’s as eager for hidden dirt tracks as it is for tapping out the tempo on tarmac.

Wheelset

Handlebars

The new Ribble one-piece carbon cockpit enhances performance while sharpening the bike’s aesthetic with clean lines and fully integrated cabling. Its relaxed, upright position improves control and visibility across mixed terrain, while ergonomic grips boost all-day comfort and confident handling on back lanes, gravel and everything in between. The integrated Duo handlebar control unit lets you manage assistance levels effortlessly without taking your hands off the bars, so you can stay focused on the ride.

Handlebars

Saddle

Stay stable and comfortable over rough terrain. Our integrated seat clamp, proprietary D-shaped carbon seatpost, and Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo saddle combine to deliver outstanding rear-end compliance, smoothing out trail chatter for improved comfort and all-day performance.
