The addition of our EP8 means you can take the eONE-SIXTY on the trails for even longer. The 630Wh internal battery increases both range and power, so you can stay out riding while utilizing the electronic motor’s boost to assist you up the steepest of climbs.
The eONE-SIXTY has been redesigned with new perfectly tuned geometry for a faster, more relaxed ride. It features a stiff and lightweight frame that seamlessly contains the battery in the downtube and is primed to tackle anything the trails can throw at it.Once we had all calmed ourselves from the initial high of riding all-time trails with supernatural power, we took the time to really dial in the EP8 motor. The idea of opening an app, pairing our bikes and customising the settings didn’t scream fun in the same way as heading into the next section of trail did. However, it was five minutes of seriously well-invested time.
SHIMANO's E-Tube app is surprisingly simple to use for something that has such an impact on the way the way the EP8 motor works. Some riders ramped up to maximum power, fingers sliding across screens and the glint of evil genius creeping across their faces as they bestowed themselves superhero status! Those whose power-to-weight ratio told of plenty of kilometres clocked without electric assistance, knocked the feisty 85Nm back a peg or two to perfect a more progressive power curve and natural feel which still allowed for a proper workout on the climbs.
With customisation complete, we set off again.
