The Bionicon brand has always been deeply rooted in the mountain bike scene. It's clear that the Bavarians haven't missed the trend towards motorised mountain bikes.

The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. The Bosch motor climbs steep ramps effortlessly. The very natural riding feeling combines the Bosch Performance Line CX with a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

The chassis unfortunately isn't great. Riders might lack comfort on rough terrain. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. The trend is going towards increasingly longer main frames. With a very high Reach Value, Bionicon meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the Jesse FS 2.
