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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyke-se-2023) E-Tube app, enhancing the riding experience. In terms of specifications, the iLynx+ is equipped with a high-performance Shimano [EP801](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondraker-crusher-2024) 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.
