It's no longer a secret that Stöckli builds good race bikes. This year it was Jolanda Neff, who rode a Stöckli prototype to victory in the overall World Cup standings. Now the Swiss are also attacking the e-bike sector with 27.5-inch wheels.
Like the German premium manufacturer Rotwild, Stoeckli relies on the Brose motor for the fully, which delivers particularly brute power with a peak torque of 90 Nm. The corresponding battery has a capacity of 418 watt hours. For 2016, Stoeckli will be offering both a hardtail and a fully, each in two model variants.
eBERYLL
The hardtail bears the name eBeryll and comes with a moderate geometry. The two versions, Comp and Elite, both have the same motors and batteries from Shimano. While the Comp has a Rock Shox Reba at the front, a Sram X1 in the drivetrain and Shimano M615 brakes, the Elite has to make do with simpler equipment: SR Suntour Raidon, Sram GX and Shimano M506. Prices are currently only available in Swiss francs and are 2990 francs for the Elite and 3790 francs for the Comp.
eSPHEN
Stoeckli will be marketing its E-Fully under the name eSPHEN for the 2016 season. Like the hardtail, the eSPHEN comes in two versions. The more affordable Evo model for 4290 Swiss francs features a Rock Shox Sektor Gold and a Monarch RL rear shock. The gears are sorted by the new Sram GX.
For 4990 Swiss francs, the Stöckli eSphen Pro comes with Fox suspension consisting of a Fox 34 Performance fork and a Float Performance shock. The gears are then changed by a new Shimano XT 11-speed groupset. A Shimano XT with large discs is now also responsible for the deceleration instead of a groupless M615.
