Superior eXC 7019 B Review

The Active Line Plus from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. At steep sections, the somewhat weak Bosch motor requires a lot of initiative from the rider. The Bosch Active Line Plus gives off a natural riding feeling. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

In rough terrain, the eXC 7019 B lacks a bit of control with its only average fork. Especially heavy riders should be aware that the Shimano only decelerates poorly. 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, Superior 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.
