Maxx TOURMAXX ELS SPORT Review

Shimano motors remain at the top of the engine popularity alongside Bosch motors. No wonder, as evidenced by EP600. Even nasty steep sections are effortlessly climbed by the motor. The Shimano EP600 conveys a riding feeling. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

The SR Suntour chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. At the brakes, Maxx middle class four pistons in front and two pistons in the rear brakes by Magura are used. 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. At a ° angle flat steer angle and the long reach, one can certainly speak of modern geometry. 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. Oh boy, with the geometry you have to be ready to make compromises from our perspective. The most important measurements and angles fall slightly out of the grid of good bikes.
