Hardly any e-mountain bike with 150 mm of travel comes across more filigree than the iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.9. The integrated seat clamp and the cable routing through the headset fit perfectly into the minimalist design.

The BHZ BHZ, 65Nm is not one of the powerhouses on the market. The somewhat low torque engine could use a bit more support, especially on steep climbs. The motor control of BHZ conveys a natural riding experience. The harmonious power delivery is an ace up the sleeve of the BHZ, 65Nm. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the iLYNX TRAIL CARBON 8.9 are no problem.
