Husqvarna E-Bicycles Light Cross LC2 2023

The “Light Cross LC2 2023” model from Husqvarna E-Bicycles is a versatile e-bike designed for use on both challenging trails and leisurely rides. Priced at EUR 4,799, it offers a combination of robust design and modern technology. The frame is made from an aluminium alloy (Alloy 6061) and features an integrated battery, giving it a sleek appearance. The frame geometry, with a head tube angle of 67 degrees and a seat tube angle of 75 degrees, supports a balanced riding position.

The bike’s suspension is provided by the RockShox 35 Silver TK fork with 120 mm of travel and the SR SUNTOUR Raidon R shock absorber, ensuring a comfortable ride over uneven terrain. The drive is powered by a Shimano EP6 motor with an output of 250 W and a torque of 85 Nm, which, in combination with the Core S1+ battery with a capacity of 630 Wh, enables an impressive range. The Shimano SC-E5003 LCD display provides the rider with all the key information at a glance.

Safety is ensured by the Tektro braking system, comprising hydraulic disc brakes with 2-piston calipers and large brake discs (203 mm at the front, 180 mm at the rear), which provide reliable braking power even at high speeds. Gear changes are handled by the Tektro RD-M350 9-speed derailleur, controlled by the Tektro SL-M350R shift levers, enabling precise and responsive gear selection.

The wheelset combines a 29-inch front wheel with a 27.5-inch rear wheel, both fitted with Maxxis Rekon tyres, which ensure excellent traction and stability. The Ryde Disc30 tubeless-ready rims help to reduce weight and improve puncture resistance.

The bike features a Husqvarna riser handlebar with a width of 780 mm and a 9-degree sweep, which, in combination with the Husqvarna stem, ensures optimum control. The Husqvarna MTB saddle and dropper post offer additional comfort and adjustability whilst riding.

With a maximum load capacity of 130 kg, the Light Cross LC2 2023 is suitable for both lighter and heavier riders. The carefully selected components and well-thought-out geometry make this model an excellent choice for e-bike enthusiasts who value quality and performance.
