With the "Yak" e-bike, MTB Cycletech is presenting a versatile platform for the 2019 model year. The basis is provided by Bosch motors: the Active Plus unit is installed in the 25cc version and the Performance Speed motor in the 45cc version. However, the modern frame and its geometry are the focus of attention. With the Powertube battery integrated in the down tube, this allows for a contemporary, tidy look and can be fitted with 27.5" tires up to 2.3 inches wide. In combination with a suspension fork with 75 millimetres of travel, the result is a package that not only cuts a fine figure on the commute, but also allows a lot off-road.

"We call the Yak a multi-purpose electric bike: an e-bike based on mountain bike geometry that gives the customer more freedom off the beaten track. Thanks to numerous eyelets and inserts, the bike can be fitted with a mudguard and pannier rack, making it a daily driver. A bike that can do it all," say the MTB Cycletech makers about the addition to the portfolio.

The "Traverse" is just as new to the Bassersdorf-based bicycle manufacturer's range - and here, too, versatility is the order of the day. The bike, which can be described as a gravel or bikepacking bike, can be fitted with 27.5 and 28-inch wheels and thus be trimmed for more off-road or road suitability. Numerous inserts on the elegant carbon frame ensure that numerous bags can be fitted without any problems and, in line with the bikepacking trend, threads on the fork also provide bag options. If you are looking for even more everyday practicality, you can also fit mudguards to the "Traverse".

The "Yak" and "Traverse" models will be available from specialist dealers from around February 2019 and, as usual with MTB Cycletech, are embedded in an à la carte system that can cover many customer requirements with numerous options.
