New E-Palette from Hercules
To celebrate the company's 130th anniversary, Hercules is launching its first E-MTB fully on the market: the NOS FS comes with 140cc suspension, plus tyres and a choice of Bosch or Brose motor.

After more than 30 years in the e-bike business, Hercules is now breaking new ground: for the first time, the Cologne-based company is also offering mountain bikes with e-support. The new NOS FS fully platform with 140-millimetre suspension is available with either a Bosch Performance CX unit or Brose motor.

NOS FS

The NOS-Fully with Brose motor comes with a fully integrated battery. This offers a very generous capacity of 650 Wh. The equipment also points to the touring segment: all three models have a double crankset and therefore a wide range. The Plus bikes also offer reserves on rougher terrain with their 140 mm suspension, while the two more expensive models also have a Vario seatpost. Prices start at 4000 euros, the mid-range model is available for 4900 euros and the top model costs 5200 euros.

NOS FS CX

As the name suggests, the CX version comes with the Bosch Performance CX drive and 500 Wh battery. The Bosch version offers a single drive and also 140 millimetres of suspension travel. The NOS FS CX is therefore more of an all-mountain bike. However, both models do without the obligatory dropper post. The price for the cheaper model is 4200 euros, the more expensive one costs 5200 euros.

  The top model of the Bosch version comes with a Rock Shox Yari suspension fork and deluxe shock. Hercules also bolts a number of carbon parts onto the NOS FS CX Pro for 5200 euros.Photo: Hersteller The top model of the Bosch version comes with a Rock Shox Yari suspension fork and deluxe shock.
