Simplon has had a high level of expertise in carbon for years, for example with the Cirex E-Fully from 2002, and the Austrian bike manufacturer is making full use of its many years of carbon expertise with the Steamer Carbon E-Fully: The carbon fiber material allows the battery to be beautifully integrated while maintaining high rigidity and a low weight.

Potency in the frame, motor and add-on parts

Combined with the potent 150 millimetre suspension travel, the powerful Shimano E8000 drive and the Plus tires, the Steamer Carbon is an absolute all-rounder for all areas of use, including enduro rides.

In addition to the new Shimano drivetrain, Simplon has injected the Steamer Carbon with further innovations: it goes without saying that the hubs have a wide Boost dimension. The frame is Di2-ready, so it can be converted to electronic shifting at any time. With the Center Cable Guide system, Simplon ensures that the cables are routed in a visually tidy manner. This is achieved by a pivoting cable guide in the left-hand main bearing. This allows Simplon to prevent the cables from rubbing against the frame, as there is no cable movement during compression.

Perfectionist down to the last detail

The tapered rear suspension also ensures long-lasting cycling pleasure. Simplon also promises that the rear triangle is guaranteed to run without play, is very low-maintenance and should not make any cracking noises. And speaking of innovations and modern standards, the shock features the Mass Metric from Rock Shox, which promises a more sensitive response, greater stiffness and consistent riding characteristics thanks to improved heat dissipation in the shock.

The same values: Steamer Alu

The visual appearance of the Steamer Alu is somewhat more modest than its carbon counterpart, but the inner values are just as impressive. The Shimano motor system is also on board. When it comes to suspension travel, the rear suspension system, the Boost and Metric dimensions, Di2-ready and the Center Cable Guide system, the aluminum bruiser is no slouch and has all the innovations of its carbon brother.
