Lightweight Full-Suspension Trail Bikes

BH Bikes' iLynx+ Fits a 630Wh Battery in a 20Kg Frame

— September 19, 2024 — Autos
The iLynx+ ebike from BH Bikes features a lightweight and agile frame designed for both climbing and descending technical terrain. The frame is constructed using Hollow Core Internal Molding (HCIM) technology, which minimizes weight while maintaining rigidity. This technology, combined with high-modulus carbon fiber, results in a frame weight of just 2.1 kg. The bike’s geometry includes a rear end of 440 mm, a more vertical seat tube, and an extended reach, providing an ideal fit for various terrain conditions. Additionally, the iLynx+ incorporates a customizable display that allows riders to adjust assistance modes via the Shimano E-Tube app, enhancing the riding experience.

In terms of specifications, the iLynx+ is equipped with a high-performance Shimano EP801 motor that generates a maximum torque of 85 Nm. The bike comes standard with a 630Wh battery housed in the down tube, offering a maximum energy density per weight. For extended range, an optional XPro DD external bottle battery provides an additional 180Wh. The iLynx+ is available in two versions: a trail bike with 140 mm travel and an enduro bike with 160 mm travel. Pricing for the iLynx+ ranges from €6,999 to €10,999, depending on the model and specifications.
