Corratec E-POWER X VERT RACE GENT e-Mountainbike Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the E-POWER X VERT RACE are no problem.

On rough terrain, the E-POWER X VERT RACE, with its only average fork, lacks some control. 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. When it comes to the geometry, Corratec 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. For the very good geometry, the developer team of Corratec definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen.
