Featuring the same motor as the highly regarded Altitude Powerplay, the company’s Dyname 3.0 system, the bike features a fully integrated battery and 140mm travel. The second bike in the brands ebike lineup the bike has 29″ wheels, a 630Wh battery (500Wh on entry level) and a custom bottom bracket and standard cranks (that can be replaced if needed).
Adjustable
The geometry is adjustable using the patented Ride 9 system to give either a steep, neutral or slack ride, using two interlocking chips. The motor is now in its third generation and has a maximum torque of 80Nm. It’s silent and brushless – it looks quite complex from the outside due to its multiple jockey wheels and torque sensor.
Fixed
The battery is fixed into the frame which may be an issue for some, especially on multi day trips without a plug close to your bike. The new iWoc TRIO-Remote features coloured LEDs with battery levels and the mode level. It looks pretty slick and includes haptic feedback, a small vibration to give you a signal that you’ve pressed the button. Neat!
