Hardly any e-mountain bike with 150 mm of travel comes across more filigree than the iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.6. The integrated seat clamp and the cable routing through the headset fit perfectly into the minimalist design.
At steep sections, the somewhat weak BH motor requires a lot of initiative from the rider. The BH 2EXMAG gives off a rough riding feeling. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.6 , because of its low range. Who wants to remove the battery for charging or storing, will be disappointed with the iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.6. The battery is firmly built-in.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.6 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) .

In the about 6500€ price range, most manufacturers use aluminium as the frame material. With a carbon frame, BH turns the weight screw and sets itself apart from the competitors. The Fox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. At the brakes, BH middle class four pistons brakes by Shimano are used. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, BH uses average parts. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. 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.

Conclusion


Expirience with the BH iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.6

Overall, an excellent handling speak a clear language. The iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.6 is a good bike with a high fun factor for downhill rides. Only a middle ground chassis and a mediocre brake system mar the overall picture.
