Bergamont launches new enduro bike

With the En-Core, Bergamont is aiming for a wide range of uses from demanding tours to freeride excursions. For the time being, the 2016 En-Core comes with an aluminum main frame, 165 millimeters of travel and adjustable geometry. The cables can also be routed internally and externally.

Building on the Bergamont developers' many years of experience, they have created a frame platform with a wide range of uses. Lightweight and powerful for technically demanding tours, agile and with take-off qualities for enduro use. But it should also be sufficiently stable and smooth-running for freeride excursions.
The flip-chip system known from the predecessor "Threesome EX" also enables individual tuning of the bottom bracket height, steering and seat angle via a variable shock mount.

Designed for current Enduro forks with 160-170 millimetres of travel and 165 millimetres of stroke at the rear, the kinematics of the supported single pivot with a combination of very sensitive response, a largely linear characteristic curve with progression increasing towards the end ensures optimum use of the travel. In addition, the rear triangle has a high level of sag resistance and therefore harmonizes perfectly with the current enduro shocks from leading manufacturers.
The Bergamont Coax-Pivot-System also ensures perfect decoupling of the drive and suspension on the new En-Core. The bike also rolls on 27.5-inch wheels.

Convincing features
The cable routing on the En-Core can be customized: depending on what makes sense, the cables can be routed and fixed inside or outside the down tube.
While the main frame is made of aluminum, the chainstays are made of carbon. These have integrated protectors to protect against stone and chain impacts.
A modified thru-axle dropout is also used on the rear triangle. This ensures secure positioning and speeds up wheel changes.

The Bergamont En-Core comes in the model variants En-Core Team, En-Core 9.0 and En-Core 8.0.
