Conway Xyron S 7.9 Carbon 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 natural motor control and the progressive power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

The Rock Shox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the Xyron S 7.9 Carbon. With their four pistons and 2 disc brakes the TRP brake brakes good. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Conway 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. The bottom bracket is high, which costs handling points. This tends to make the rider stand on the bike. On other EMTBs it feels better integrated. Even when it gets really steep, the long chainstays will stick the front wheel to the ground. The steep seat angle puts the rider far forward in the bike. This puts pressure on the front, which additionally increases the climbing abilities in technical uphills.
