As with the ewme models, the rear shock of the Xyron S 8.9 MX Carbon is well protected by the split seat tube in which it hides.
The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Also steepest climbs the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX provides a very well-rounded riding experience with a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Conway Xyron S 8.9 MX Carbon in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (6000) .

The good Fox chassis confidently dampens small and medium bumps. When it comes to the brakes, Conway reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and 2 millimeter rotors from Shimano. The components and the gears are less in the spotlight with an EMTB than with bikes without motor. Nevertheless, when we take a look we find out that here, good components are always used. When it comes to the geometry, Conway does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. 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. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard.
