Eurobike 2026 – Tech Highlights, Day 3: Super-charging, affordable e-MTBs and XXL brakes

Fast charging taken to a whole new level

Chinese motor manufacturer Gobao is showcasing its new fast-charging technology. The Supercharger delivers a whopping 30 amps, compared with a maximum of 12 amps for the fast chargers from Bosch and Avinox. A 750-watt-hour battery is said to charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in under 20 minutes. To manage the high currents, the charger is fitted with a fan. Despite this, the charger remains compact and, at 1.2 kilos, is not too heavy. The technology is set to go into series production and become available on the market in early 2027 – to coincide with the launch of the Chinese manufacturer’s new X1P gearmotor.

Prototype: Canyon Grail CFR

​There had already been speculation about the prototype of Canyon’s new gravel bike at the Traka 2026 gravel race. This very bike was now on display at the Canyon stand at Eurobike. The previously unannounced race gravel bike is a newly developed Canyon Grail CFR. According to information at the stand, the prototype is said to incorporate the aerodynamic insights of the World Tour team. Notable features include the large tube diameters and the clearance for 29 x 2.1-inch Schwalbe gravel tyres – despite the aerodynamically shaped seat tube. The model on display is the race bike ridden by German rider Juri Hollmann. Canyon is keeping the weight and price under wraps for the time being.

Raymon Durok – Price-busting E-MTB

Affordable e-bikes are hard to come by. And so are e-MTBs that combine an Avinox motor with a removable battery. Raymon’s new Durok aims to fill both gaps. It is one of the first bikes to feature Avinox’s new 800 Wh removable battery. This is housed in a stylish aluminium frame with 150 mm of suspension travel and 29er wheels (27.5 for frame size S). The weld seams have been ground smooth, giving the frame a sophisticated look. The entry-level model costs €3,999 and comes with the more affordable M2 motor. The two more expensive trim levels are powered by the M2S.

Raymon Rokua LT

Even without a motor, Raymon has raised the bar. With the Rokua, the Schweinfurt-based brand is showcasing a versatile full-suspension platform with a full-carbon frame. The Rokua LT aims to impress on enduro terrain with 170 mm of travel and 29er wheels. The top-of-the-range model, featuring Fox Factory suspension, is set to cost 5,499 euros. There will also be a more affordable version available. Its little brother, the Rokua, has 150 mm of travel and is a classic all-mountain bike.

Six pistons from the UK

With a six-piston brake, the British firm Hope aims to take braking power to a whole new level. The idea: maximum pad contact area for maximum power. The new XXL brake caliper is combined with the familiar Hope Tech4 Evo master cylinder. For those who find the imposing look not quite striking enough, there’s an added touch of exclusivity. This gem is limited to 1,000 units and costs a hefty 1,750 euros. As is customary with Hope, it’s manufactured in the UK, including all milled components.

Happy Birthday, TRP!

​20 years of TRP, 40 years of Tektro: to mark the anniversary, the Taiwanese manufacturer has released a special edition of its top-of-the-range Evo Pro brake in an iconic chrome finish. The brakes were showcased at the stand on Asa Vermette’s race bike. But these brakes aren’t just stylish. In the latest major BIKE brake test, the EVO Pro takes top honours in the test (read the review!) reap the rewards and leave the industry giants Sram, Shimano and Magura in their wake.

Canyon relies on Avinox

Canyon unveiled no fewer than two new e-MTBs at Eurobike – fitted with Avinox motors! The bikes aren’t yet in series production, and no detailed information is available. But one thing is clear: Canyon e-MTBs with Avinox motors will be available in the foreseeable future. The first bike (pictured above) is a classic e-MTB featuring the Avinox M2S, a fixed 700-series battery and a full-carbon frame. The spec suggests it’s an all-mountain or trail bike. On top of that, Canyon is showcasing one of five prototypes featuring the Avinox MG Concept – Avinox’s announced motor-gearbox unit. It therefore seems that Canyon is set to rely heavily on Avinox motors in the medium term.
