The new Patron eRide

Same name, new bike

Three years ago, Scott presented the first Patron eRide, a versatile all-mountain pedelec with 160 millimetres of suspension travel and a powerful Bosch drive, which was enthroned in the frame triangle above the bottom bracket. Now comes the new Patron. The eye-catching frame shape has given way to a somewhat more classic design, in which the suspension strut is also positioned differently. Where this was previously located in the top tube, the shock absorber is now positioned above the bottom bracket, but is still controlled internally.

The suspension travel has also been scaled back a little. The new Patron eRide has 150 millimetres of travel at the front and rear, while the Patron ST version with a 170 mm fork at the front provides reserves. The ST series (Super Trail) is designed for aggressive riding on rough and demanding trails and also has stronger components, such as a piggyback shock at the rear, whose performance is more consistent on long, hard descents. The Patron 900 series, on the other hand, is designed more for versatility, making it the ideal choice for almost any terrain. In both versions, the damper modes are operated from the handlebars using the TracLoc Suspension System.

Three frame versions

The Patron frame is available in three versions: a full carbon version, a full aluminum version and a hybrid version with a carbon main frame and an aluminum rear triangle. All frame configurations are characterized by the same modern geometry, innovative integration and sleek design, which ensures a consistent riding experience for all models. The 900 and ST models feature the same versatile frame with 150 millimeters of travel, making them ideal for a variety of riding conditions.

Compared to the previous model, the shock has been positioned lower and more centrally to improve weight distribution and overall performance. Redesigned covers with mechanical and magnetic mounts allow easy access to the integrated components. Practically identical to the previous model is the SAG indicator, which makes it much easier to read the negative suspension travel.

Powerful drive, longer puff

The heart of the Patron eRide is the new Bosch Performance Line CX drive. With a maximum output of 600 watts and a continuous output of 250 watts, the motor offers plenty of oomph to master steep and demanding climbs.

To ensure that you don't run out of breath early with this power, the new Patron has a larger integrated battery with 800 watt hours. This blends seamlessly into the silhouette of the bike, while the down tube flap enables easy removal and effortless charging.

If 800 watt hours is not enough for you, you have the option of increasing the range by 250 watt hours with Bosch's PowerMore Range Extender.

These models are available

Scott offers the Patron eRide in the 900 and 910 versions in two color variants each, the Patron 920 in three, the ST models with more suspension travel are available as a tuned version and two other versions. Frame sizes are available from S to XL.
