The frame is available in three finishes: Raw Silver, True Gold, and Hero Bronze. (emtb-news.de)

Weighing just 2 kg, this motor offers a natural riding experience, amplifying the rider’s effort without overpowering it. The integrated 600 Wh battery ensures ample range, with an optional 250 Wh range extender available for extended adventures. (pinkbike.com)
