The Rockrider E-FEEL is a new range of electric mountain bikes from Decathlon, designed to offer more fun and ease of handling on the trails. The e-bikes feature a sturdy aluminium frame, a RockShox suspension system, and a 630Wh removable battery. The e-bikes also have large 2.8-inch tyres, Boost-spec wheels, and a Brose or Shimano mid motor, depending on the model.
The E-FEEL range includes three models: the E-FEEL 700S, the E-FEEL 900S, and the E-FEEL 900S Team Edition. The E-FEEL 700S is the cheapest model, with a Shimano EP600 motor, an 11-speed Shimano Cues rear derailleur, and TRP Slate Evo brakes. The E-FEEL 900S and 900S Team Edition have the Shimano EP801 motor, which delivers more torque and power. They also have Shimano Di2 transmissions, which provide automatic shifting. The 900S has an 11-speed Shimano Cues Di2 rear derailleur, while the 900S Team Edition has a 12-speed Shimano XT Di2. The E-FEEL 700S, 900S, and 900S Team Edition are expected to launch in the US in 2024, with prices of $4,650, $5,399, and $6,499, respectively. However, it is important to note that each of these models are currently available in the EU, and these prices are based on those releases, so the U.S. release may see price changes.
