BH iLYNX+ SL ENDURO CARBON 9.4 Review

In the automotive and motorcycle world, Japan has always had a reputation for being a breeding ground for excellent engines. Shimano is doing its utmost to live up to this reputation in the e-bike world with the EP81 engine. Also steep uphills the Shimano motor easily climbs up well Although the EP81 isn't the strongest when it comes to maximum power, it still has its advantages.. The Shimano EP81 provides a natural riding experience with a harmonious power delivery. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the iLYNX+ SL ENDURO CARBON 9.4 with only an average range.

Carbon is considered a premium material in the bike industry. In the price range about 7€, aluminium is usually the frame material used. With the carbon frame, BH can clearly differentiate itself from many competitors. A good chassis sits in rugged terrain and generates plenty of traction. That's exactly what the good Fox chassis in the iLYNX+ SL ENDURO CARBON 9.4 hits. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the iLYNX+ SL ENDURO CARBON 9.4. With their four pistons and large brake rotors the Shimano brake brakes good. Taking a holistic approach also includes looking at the gearing and components. The components are of good qualtiy and offer no reason for criticism here. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. Furthermore, the bike lies excellent on the trail thanks to its low bottom bracket and thus low centre of gravity. Due to the short chainstays and the shallow seat angle, when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting. Of course, a low bottom bracket also has its downside. In technical uphills, the pedal can sometimes touch the ground here. However, we think: This is manageable.
