Head with a complete e-fleet
Head has a complete range of e-MTBs on offer for 2018: from aluminium hardtail to fully, everything is included - including the motors: Shimano and Continental supply the drives.

The Czech company Head is entering the E-MTB business in a big way: The model range includes aluminium hardtails, a carbon hardtail and two aluminium hardtails. On the drive side, the Czechs are not committing themselves: the customer has the choice between the Continental motor (actually from Brose) and the Shimano Steps. While the Shimano drive only has a 500 Wh battery, the Continental motor has 600 Wh at its disposal.

The 5500 euro Volta marks the spearhead of the Head hardtails: the Caron bike with Shimano motor is said to weigh just 18.6 kilos. Shimano XT gears and DT Swiss wheels complete the carbon fibre bullet.Photo: Tobias Brehler The 5500 euro Volta marks the spearhead of the Head hardtails: the Caron bike with Shimano motor is said to weigh just 18.6 kilos.

The Alton for 4800 euros is aimed at trail bikers: The Shimano motor allows short chainstays, the plus tyres in combination with the 150-millimetre suspension and the Vario seat post provide a lot of security on the downhill. A Shimano SLX-XT gear mix is used here.Photo: Tobias Brehler The Alton for 4800 euros is aimed at trail bikers: The Shimano motor allows short chainstays, the plus tyres in combination with the 150-millimetre suspension and the Vario seat post provide a lot of security on the downhill.

A Rock Shox Recon fork damps the front of the 4300 euro E-MTB, while a Deluxe shock absorbs the rear. The gears are shifted with the Sram GX eleven-speed drivetrain.Photo: Tobias Brehler The Head Alton also has the Continental motor.
