The distinctive kink in the top tube, the bottle cage position under the top tube and the four-link rear triangle fit perfectly into the corporate identity of the French e-bike specialist Moustache. The Samedi 29 Trail 4 aims to appeal primarily to trail-loving touring riders.

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. The Bosch motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a very natural riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. The mid-range brakes from Shimano do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the four pistons setup is only average.

With a very high Reach Value, Moustache meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the Samedi 29 Trail 4.
