There is excitement in the sector of e-mtbA segment of the cycling market undergoing rapid evolution, thanks to the interest of "non-sector companies" and the promotion of tourist areas that focus heavily on combining holidays, wellness, sport, and cycling. Without forgetting that la e-mtb it's fun.
Fantic it is a fixed point and a reference for the category with e-mtbA statement that is nothing new for enthusiasts of this market segment, a certainty for those approaching the e-mtb and finds Fantic as an established and reliable player in the motorcycle sector. Sierra and Ridge are the two new e-mtb integrating the Bosch Performance electric support unit. Let's see them in detail.
Due e-mtb from different souls
The differences are mainly related to the frame, carbon for the Sierra, aluminum for the Fantic Ridge . At the heart of the two projects is the Bosch Performance Line CX generation 5 package , customizable in different steps and capable of up to 120 Nm of torque.
Extremely powerful and balanced at the same time, as reliable as it is fun, completely integrated into the frame for a non-trivial aesthetic cleanliness. The generational leap, compared to the Bosch Performance CX generation 4, is truly significant, precisely in terms of power delivery, customization possibilities and also in terms of the package's finishes once integrated into the e-mtb/e-bike.
Fantic Sierra
And 'the e-mtb more oriented towards those who are looking for a clear and high-level performanceThe aesthetic impact says a lot about its character, a full that adopts the concept of Cobra design by Fantic. Sierra is a full carbon, with aunique and distinctive architectureThe downtubes seem to embrace the seat tube, extending towards the downtube profile, which in turn adopts a sort of split. Here is the shock absorber that uses the same downtube, which in turn pushes towards the front end. The whole bike is involved in supporting the shock absorbing action and in the exploitation of the shock absorber.
The connection of the obliques and the shock absorber to the shape of the Flip Chip system for geometry customization. Fantic Sierra is a e-mtb which can split between thebe a 29er to a 27,5, without ever compromising the balance. Obviously it is mullet use is also possible, in pure DH and hard enduro style. 155mm of travel for the shock absorber, 160 for the fork. Last but not least the Horst coaxial joint of the rear wheel, which separates the effect generated during braking from the movement of the suspension, all to the advantage of a shock absorber that continues to work in an “autonomous” way. 3 installations are planned, Sport, Race and Factory, respectively at 5790, 7490 and 8990 euros.
Fantic Ridge, the aluminum one
Compared to e-mtb Fantic Sierra (carbon) uses a aluminum frameThe design is "more traditional", thanks to the shock absorber anchored above the central area of the bike. Sierra is a full that includes two main configurations, Trail with 150 millimeters of travel, Allmountain with its 170 millimeters of travel. In this case too, there is the Fantic Cobra design, the shapes of the steering and front end are reminiscent of a cobra, the Bosch Performance CX generation 5 electric support unit was also chosen for the Fantic Sierra.
There are 4 available setups in total , two for the Trail , Sport and Race category (4490 and 5590 euros), two for Allmountain , always Sport and Race (5490 and 7190 euros).
