FEATURESSPECS

FEATURES:

• Bombproof, lightweight carbon frame, superior ebike suspension performance and tailored geometry create a chassis that exceeds where real mountain biking demands it.
• The Bosch Performance Line CX is powerful, reliable and quiet. The power on tap and how it delivers it makes going up trails feel like descending.
• 600 h is optimal for most rides. Low battery mass improves handling characteristics. The 250 Wh PowerMore extender battery provides the freedom to cover more ground when needed
• Stiff one-piece bridged link for chassis stiffness and protecting the shock from side loads. The stuff that causes other four-bar bikes to go soft.
• Main pivots run on the same legendary preloading collet axle and expanding wedge system that Santa Cruz introduced and is copied by many bike brands now. Axles cant back out and are keyed for worry-free removal.
• Four oversized bearings in the chainstay pivots and an axle that holds everything captive (no workshop floor explosions). It doesnt require a blind puller tool to remove bearings for service.
• Geo flip chip hardware is captive so theres no fear of dropping small parts on the ground. To adjust, just loosen it, flip it, and retorque. Its easy enough to do on the side of the trail with just one Allen key.
• Threads at chainstay, seatstay pivots, and shock mount are all replaceable. So if you do damage by being a ham-fisted mechanic its a simple fix, not a frame-damaging one.
• All 5mm Allen key broaches throughout, so it’s easy to do quick bolt checks. Its so easy to work on the bike that even the marketing people can do it (if we hide the sharp tools from them), and it requires no specialist tools.
