It's old hat in the automotive industry: one chassis is used for as many different models as possible. The Hamburg bike company Bergamont utilises this concept for the hardtail E-Revox: all bikes, whether MTB or trekking bike, whether fully integrated Bosch Powertube battery or partially integrated PowerPack, use the same chassis. The Powertube batteries are inserted into the down tube from below, the classic PowerPacks from above. The Powertube battery enables stylish integration, while the EMTB mode of the Bosch Performance CX motor enables intuitive riding.
Bergamont relies on tried and tested geometry: the 495 millimetre chainstays don't exactly exude agility, but should keep the front wheel on the ground even on extremely steep sections. The moderate 71 mm steering angle provides the necessary agility. The bikes are available in four frame sizes: S, M, L and XL.
There are eight different models to choose from, one of which comes with a pannier rack, side stand and light. All other models are aimed at mountain bikers: depending on the model, the hardtails roll on either plus tyres or 29-inch wheels. Prices start at 2500 euros, with the top model for 5300 euros weighing less than 20 kilos. Ergon components are designed to optimise the contact points on almost all models.
