Decathlon's RR900e Features a Premium Bosch Performance CX Motor

— April 26, 2024 — Autos
The RR900e ebike from Decathlon is a newly launched hardtail e-bike that integrates modern design with functionality. It features a mid-mounted Bosch motor, which is central to its sleek frame design, contributing to a balanced ride. The bike’s aesthetics are complemented by a matt black finish, available in three sizes to accommodate a range of riders. A RockShox suspension fork and 29-inch Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires provide a comfortable ride on various terrains. The design is further enhanced by the ability to connect a smartphone via Bluetooth for Bosch Smart Ebike App controls, allowing riders to monitor and adjust their riding experience.

In terms of its performance specifications, the RR900e is equipped with a 250W Bosch motor capable of delivering up to 85Nm of torque, ensuring robust performance. The power is supplied by a 625Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, which offers an assistance range of up to 100km (~60 miles). The 12-speed e-bike also includes a Shimano XT M8120 rear derailleur and Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes for reliable shifting and stopping power. The aluminum frame’s size M model weighs approximately 24.6 kg (~54.2 lbs), excluding pedals. Currently, the RR900e Bosch Performance CX is available in Germany for €3,499, with no clear plans for availability in other markets as of now.
