Husqvarna E-Bicycles Light Cross LC3 2023

The 2023 Light Cross LC3 model from Husqvarna E-Bicycles is an e-bike equipped with a wide range of high-quality components and characterised by its versatility and performance. The frame is made from a robust aluminium alloy (Alloy 6061) and, with its 120 mm suspension travel and Boost standard, provides a solid foundation for demanding rides. The integrated battery ensures a seamless look and reduces the overall weight, which allows for a maximum load of up to 130 kg.

Braking performance is provided by Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (BR-MT410) at the front and rear, featuring 2-piston technology. The front brake disc measures 203 mm (Shimano SM-RT30) and the rear 180 mm (Shimano RT-EM300), both with Centre Lock mounting. Gear changes are handled by the SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed system, which ensures precise and reliable shifting, supported by the SRAM SX Eagle Single Click shifter.

Suspension is provided by the RockShox 35 Gold RL fork with DebonAir technology and 120 mm of travel, whilst the RockShox Deluxe Select rear shock (190x45 mm) ensures additional control and comfort. Power is provided by a Shimano EP6 motor with an output of 250 W and a torque of 85 Nm, powered by a 630 Wh Core S1+ battery. The Shimano SC-E7000 LCD display offers ANT and Bluetooth connectivity for easy control and monitoring of riding parameters.

The bike is fitted with Husqvarna aluminium pedals and a Shimano FC-EM600 crankset. The SRAM PG-1210 cassette offers a range of 11–50T, which, combined with the SRAM X-Sync Eagle bottom bracket, ensures efficient riding performance. The handlebars are Husqvarna Riser bars with a width of 780 mm and a 9° sweep, whilst the seatpost is a Husqvarna Pro Dropper Post, which provides greater flexibility on the trail.

The tyres are Maxxis Rekon Tubeless Ready, sized 29x2.4 at the front and 27.5x2.4 at the rear, fitted to Ryde Disc30 rims, which are also Tubeless Ready. The hubs are Husqvarna DA210F at the front and DA210R at the rear, both fitted with Centre Lock and thru-axles. The saddle is a comfortable Husqvarna MTB model which, together with the saddle clamp (Husqvarna 34.9 mm Allen), provides a stable riding position.

Overall, the Light Cross LC3 2023 offers balanced geometry with a wheelbase of 1250 mm, a reach of 490 mm and a stack of 656 mm. The head tube angle is 67 degrees, whilst the seat tube angle is 75 degrees. This configuration enables agile and stable handling on both challenging trails and longer rides.
