The e-mountainbike that (almost) doesn't want to be one anymore
It's the next wave of the e-mountainbike boom: a modern e-mountainbike should no longer weigh a hefty 25 kilos. The motorization or the torque and the size of the battery should be reduced, the weight as well and the feeling of such a device closer to the conventional, non-motorized mountain bike. The Orbea Rise or the Specialized Turbo Levo SL, for example, are already playing in this league.
Fazua is now Trek's partner in subjecting the e-mountainbike to a radical Weight Watchers cure. And it succeeds very well, because the scales of the E-Caliber "9.9 XX1 AXS" stop at 15.77kg. The Fazua drive, in the so-called Black Pepper Tune, delivers 55 Newton meters of torque and 450 watts of maximum power. Depending on the cadence or support level, Trek specifies 600 to 1200 meters of possible altitude as a guide. The rider can adjust the Fazua drive to their preferences via an app. Or remove the drive unit and battery completely from the bike, insert the down tube cover supplied and use the bike as a cross-country file with 2.75 kg less.
