An E-Enduro with massive components and 22 kilos? Storck has a special EP8 treat in store. Can the noble exotic convince off-road?

Lightweight carbon parts were Markus Storck's speciality back in the early 90s. So it's no wonder that the Frankfurt-based developer's latest e-MTB creations also stand out first and foremost for their low weight. The e:drenic.2 with a new Shimano motor and 630 battery relies on solid add-on parts such as a Fox 38 and a thick DPX2 shock. With 170/160 millimetres of travel, it lands squarely in the enduro category. But the weight of 22.07 kilos is really good. Even the brand-new Levo from Specialized weighs more - and costs a sinfully expensive 14,000 euros. The fact that Storck's price remains reasonable for a high-end boutique brand is also due to the new sales channel, as the Hessian company now sells directly to the end customer.

Find out how the Storck e:drenic.2 performs off-road in our detailed test. You can download the PDF with all the facts and lab results from EMTB 2/2021 as a PDF below the article.

The test costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in EMTB. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them - hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
