Fuji Ambient: E-hardtail for moderate terrain
Like most other manufacturers, Fuji relies on the new Bosch CX motor. However, the e-hardtails that Fuji has in its programme are otherwise designed for moderate off-road use.

"For trail riders who are looking for a little support on climbs or long distances" is how Fuji itself describes the target group for its e-bikes. The e-hardtail will be marketed under the name E-Ambient from next autumn. Although the bike still looks very much like a cross bike in the current pictures, this is not the intention. 2.25 Rocket Rons and a 100 millimetre fork want to say: "I am a mountain bike."

Like most other manufacturers, Fuji also relies on the Bosch CX motor for the new generation. The unit spits out a full 75 Newton metres of torque as peak power. This guarantees optimum acceleration even on steep terrain. The Fuji Ambient will be available in three different equipment variants, each in 29 or 27.5 inches. Prices range between 2599 and 3999 euros, depending on the model.

  The 1.3 is the mid-range model in the 29-inch range and costs 2999 euros. For this, you get a solid set-up. However, the brakes are mediocre.Photo: Fuji The 1.3 is the mid-range model in the 29-inch range and costs 2999 euros. For this, you get a solid set-up. However, the brakes are mediocre.

Adrian Kaether's favourite thing to do is ride mountain bikes on bumpy enduro trails. The tech expert and bike tester knows all about Newton metres and watt hours, high and low-speed damping. As test manager at MYBIKE, Adrian also likes to think outside the box and tests cargo bikes and step-through bikes as well as the latest (e-)MTBs.
