Bionicon EARP 2 625 Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. The very well-rounded motor control and the progressive power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark.

Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the EARP 2 625 are no problem.

Rough descents take the good Rock Shox fork brand its course, though not with the calmness of a top-end fork. At the brakes, Bionicon reaches for the bottom of the Magura shelf and instals weak brakes with two pistons. 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 moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground.
