Technology for use on trails and enduro

The demands placed on modern trail and enduro bikes are increasing. Technically challenging routes, high expectations in terms of handling and control, and the desire for individual customization require well-thought-out solutions. With the Oberrider, Thömus combines Swiss development with DJI drive technology. The partnership with DJI provides access to a powerful and intelligently controlled drive system, while Thömus contributes its experience in development and quality assurance. A platform for two areas of application The Oberrider's carbon frame platform forms the basis for two variants. The SL version offers 150 millimeters of suspension travel and is designed for trail use. The ST version is designed for enduro use and has 170 mm of suspension travel. Both versions use a high-pivot rear suspension design that reduces pedal kickback and improves traction. Both models can be adapted to the rider and the terrain. There is also a choice of 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheels. Reach and steering angle can be adjusted to four positions. There are also two mounting points for the shock absorber. High performance and intelligent control The Oberrider is powered by DJI's Avinox Drive System. The system offers an impressive 120 Newton meters of torque, 1000 watts of peak power, and a choice of 600 or 800 watt-hour batteries. This provides high power reserves even for steep climbs and technical trails. The control system ensures smooth power delivery. The battery is integrated into the frame, which has a positive effect on weight distribution and handling. Individual configuration Each Oberrider model can be individually configured. Customers choose the components themselves, from the chassis to the drive, brakes, wheels, and cockpit. Four standard colors are available, as well as other individual color options. In its lightest configuration, the bike can be built to weigh less than twenty kilograms. Each Oberrider is individually assembled and tested in Oberried near Bern. The basic version of the Oberrider is available for CHF 5,490 and will be delivered from April 2026. Orders can be placed now.

Partnership with Franjo von Allmen

The existing partnership between Thömus and Franjo von Allmen is being expanded. The Swiss downhill skier is taking on the role of the face of the Oberrider. This will give the model a stronger sporting presence in communications. Franjo von Allmen stands for motivation, speed, and technical precision. These characteristics also fit in with the Oberrider's orientation. The more intensive collaboration underscores the connection between sporting ambition and driving pleasure.
