Spanish bicycle manufacturer Mondraker has introduced a new electric mountain bike that offers a crafty combination of urban and off-road functionalities.
The 'Chaser X' is an electric mountain bike that offers pedal assist up to 25 km/h. However, unlike conventional urban e-bikes, this product offers a high degree of stability due to the fact that it boasts RockShox suspension forks and rear shocks to offer a high degree of shock absorption that is ideal for bumpy roads as well as off-road environments.
Ultimately, the 'Chaser X' electric mountain bike is positioned for people who want to be able to enjoy urban riding, lifestyle movement and off-road experience in a singular package. "Its mountain bike heritage, its generous suspension travel, its forward geometry and its 2.6-inch tires all provide far more comfort and safety than a conventional urban bike ever could on road, with the added bonus of knowing you won’t be out of your depth on mountain tracks or bridleways if the fancy takes you," the company stated.
