Superior eXC 7039 WB Review

The Performance Line 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 biker. The Bosch Performance Line gives off a natural riding feeling. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

On rough terrain, the eXC 7039 WB, with its only average fork, lacks some control. 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. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar.
