Simplon RAPCON PMAX CX, SRAM GX EAGLE TRANSMISSION 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 excellent range, you should no longer have any range problems.

The Fox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. If the trail gets rougher however, the comparatively weak chassis can quickly limit the downhill fun. Especially for heavy riders, the Simplon brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. In view of the high reach value, it becomes clear: The main frame is long. However, the generous reach is compensated for by a very short stem. This way, Simplon creates a good weight distribution between the wheels and a balanced handling.
