Bergamont E-Contrail Pro lime green metallic/black

The "E-Contrail Pro lime green metallic/black" model from Bergamont, released in 2020, is a high-quality e-mountain bike designed for demanding off-road rides. Priced at 4,199 EUR, this bike offers a host of technical refinements and well-thought-out features.

The E-Contrail Pro’s frame is constructed from an ultra-light AL-6061 tube set and is designed for 29-inch wheels. The integrated PowerTube battery ensures a clean, uncluttered look and allows for 130 mm of suspension travel. The bike’s total weight is 23 kg, which is remarkable given its robust construction and electronic components.

Braking performance is provided by a hydraulic disc brake system from Shimano. The BR-MT420 brakes, featuring 4-piston calipers and 203 mm SM-RT30 rotors at the front and rear, guarantee reliable stopping power even in challenging situations. The Shimano BL-MT401 brake levers are also hydraulic and offer precise control.

The drivetrain is a SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed system, operated via a single-click trigger shifter. This enables fast and precise gear changes, which is particularly advantageous off-road. The crankset consists of FSA CK-320 components with a SRAM X-Sync 2 chainring (34 teeth) and a crank arm length of 165 mm. The SRAM PG-1210 Eagle cassette offers a range of 11–50 teeth.

Suspension is provided by a RockShox Recon RL fork with 130 mm of travel and an X-Fusion 02 Pro RLX shock, also with 130 mm of travel. This combination ensures balanced handling and a high level of comfort on uneven trails.

The drivetrain is powered by the fourth-generation Bosch Performance Line CX Cruise motor, which delivers 250 W of power at 36 V to assist up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h. The Bosch PowerTube battery has a capacity of 500 Wh, providing sufficient power for extended rides. The Bosch Purion display allows for easy control and monitoring of the assistance modes.

The wheels feature Alex EXR 30 rims with a width of 30 mm and are fitted with Maxxis Rekon tyres (29x2.60"), which are tubeless-ready and offer additional puncture protection thanks to their 120 TPI carcass. The hubs are from Shimano (HB-MT400 at the front and FH-MT400 at the rear) and are compatible with Centre Lock disc brakes.

Other features include the Syncros Hixon 2.0 handlebars, Ergon GA20 grips, a Syncros FL2.0 stem and a Syncros Duncan 2.5 dropper post with handlebar remote control. The saddle is a Syncros Tofino 2.5, which provides extra comfort.

Overall, the 2020 Bergamont E-Contrail Pro in lime green metallic/black offers a well-thought-out package of high-quality components and innovative technology, making it particularly suitable for demanding mountain bike tours.
