The bike features a lightweight and durable carbon fiber frame, a powerful Bosch [Performance Line CX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/856st) drive unit, a 625Wh battery, and a sleek and integrated design that hides the wiring and the battery inside the frame. The bike also comes with a full suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, a rear rack, fenders, lights, and a kickstand, making it ready for any adventure. The Tesoro Neo Carbon is available in two models: the Tesoro Neo Carbon 1 and the Tesoro Neo Carbon 2. The main difference between them is the drivetrain: the Tesoro Neo Carbon 1 has a [Shimano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urtopia-carbon-1s) [Deore XT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endurant-lectric-mountain-bike) 12-speed drivetrain, while the Tesoro Neo Carbon 2 has a Shimano SLX 11-speed drivetrain. Both models have a top speed of 32 km/h and a range of up to 140 km, depending on the riding mode and conditions. The Tesoro Neo Carbon 1 has a suggested retail price of $7,500 CAD, while the Tesoro Neo Carbon 2 has a suggested retail price of $6,500 CAD. The bikes are expected to be available in Canada by early 2024.
