New: Exciting parts for E-MTBs
ABS on e-mountain bikes, large brake discs for maximum power and a super battery: manufacturers presented their portfolios at Eurobike. The highlight parts for e-mountain bikers.

Fox Live Valve

Electronic suspension is coming to e-mountainbikes! With the E-Live-Valve, Fox is presenting a version of its intelligent suspension technology that harmonises with the new Bosch motor. In other words, the Powertube battery powers the system, which can be controlled from the handlebars via the Kiox control unit.Photo: Florentin Vesenbeckh Electronic suspension is coming to e-mountainbikes!

The sensors record their signals on the fork and rear triangle, while the additional battery and control unit are not required on the E-version.

Bosch

The Bosch Smartphone Hub connects the mobile phone to the E-MTB. The smartphone is securely attached to the handlebars and functions such as navigation, fitness or touring apps can be controlled via the remote control.

BMZ

BMZ claims to have found the optimum ratio between dimensions and capacity with its new Intube battery. The size corresponds almost exactly to a Bosch Powertube 625, but the V10 is said to have 725 watt hours. With a 10 ampere charger, the battery should be fully charged in just over two hours.Photo: Florentin Vesenbeckh BMZ claims to have found the optimum ratio between dimensions and capacity with its new Intube battery.

The asymmetrical shape of the BMZ Intube battery, which enables cable routing without a separate cable duct, should make very slim down tubes possible. This exhibition bike at the trade fair actually had a very thin down tube.Photo: Florentin Vesenbeckh The asymmetrical shape of the BMZ Intube battery, which enables cable routing without a separate cable duct, should make very slim down tubes possible.

Ergon

Ergon has revised its E-MTB saddle. What has remained is the high rear, which should provide more support on steep climbs. A new feature of the Ergon SM E-Mountain Core is the flexible, four-layer saddle construction, which is designed to support pelvic movements.Photo: Ergon Ergon has revised its E-MTB saddle.

Florentin Vesenbeckh

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
