Winner of the renowned Design & Innovation Award, the MTB Merida eOne-Sixty is now available in a new 2024 generation. Even in its most accessible "675" version, the Taiwanese electric MTB incorporates Shimano assistance, the very powerful EP801, delivering a maximum torque of 85 Nm. What a thrill!

As an e-Enduro model, the Merida eOne-Sixty houses a large 750 Wh battery, and can even be used for long rides with its additional 360 Wh battery. Shimano also supplies the 10-speed transmission and 4-piston hydraulic brakes, with its top-of-the-range Deore.

The VTTAE rounds off its excellent value for money with a Marzocchi fork with 170 mm of travel, enough to soak up any rough terrain.

The MTB electric-assist Giant combine dynamism, riding precision and robustness. The world's largest bike manufacturer injects its experience into its top-of-the-range cross-country bike, the Giant Trance X E+.

The Taiwanese VTTAE inherits the work done with Yamaha, through the SyncDrive Pro 2 motor with 85 Nm of torque, featuring Smart Assist lightning start as soon as the pedal is pressed! High-performance and efficient, it features one of the largest batteries on the market. The Giant EnergyPak 800 has a capacity of 800 Wh for 70 to 250 km depending on conditions, and can also accommodate a 250 Wh secondary battery on the frame for excellent total autonomy!

The 29-inch wheels are also in-house, including tires Maxxis, as are the stem, handlebars and Flip-Chip variable geometry of the frame, enabling an optimal riding experience on varied terrain. The suspension fork offers 150 mm of travel, with 140 mm of rear shock travel.

The Giant Trance X E+ all-terrain electric bike features Shimano XT transmission and hydraulic disc brakes. A benchmark in downhill cruising!

The xDuro was a pioneer in the segment back in 2009, and in 2021 received the Design & Innovation and Red Dot Design awards. We couldn't forget its successor, the Haibike ALLMTN CF 6 VTTAEa top-of-the-range, competition-oriented model. Undoubtedly one of the best MTB electric bikes around!

Robust and lightweight, it's made entirely of carbon and powered by a Yamaha PW-X2 engine offering 80 Nm of torque. That's a lot of torque! Its 600 Wh Yamaha InTube battery offers long autonomy to satisfy your sporting desires.

For improved traction, the different wheel sizes ensure optimum traction on hills, but also great flexibility on descents. Ideal for enduro enthusiasts. The rest of the equipment is also top quality, with a Rockshow Yari hydraulic fork with 160 mm travel for rough terrain, as well as a SRAM Eagle derailleur and TRP brakes.

The MTB electric Cannondale Moterra LT Carbon 2 is the model for lovers of technical terrain. This all-terrain bike relies on the Bosch CX electric motor for high torque and peak power. Even better, the long 170 mm travel of its Rockshox Zeb Select fork and 165 mm rear shock are designed for extreme trail riding! Cannondale also adapts the suspension to the four sizes available.

The Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain guarantees fast climbs, while Magura MT5 4-piston caliper brakes make descents safer. The Moterra LT Carbon can count on a carbon frame to keep weight down, and doesn't forget to protect its rider with mudguards. By equipping the VTTAE with tires Maxxis and a 750 Wh battery, enthusiasts will be pushing their limits on long rides.

This all-suspension VTTAE rides on 29-inch wheels with tires Maxxis, a Marzocchi fork and a 140 mm rear shock absorber. In addition to its comfortable ride for long jaunts in the Alps, its main asset is its electric core. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor offers flexibility in difficult terrain, while the 500 Wh battery has enough power to keep the rider going.

The Scott Strike eRIDE combines a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain with DB8's renowned 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. The American firm also brings its experience in high-end components from its Syncros subsidiary to the table. You're never better served than by yourself!

Just as powerful as its "140" big brother, which won the 2022 French VTTAE XC Championship with Théo Charmes, the Cube Stereo Hybrid 120offers incredible comfort thanks to the excellent absorption capacity of its RockShox front and rear suspensions. An all-suspension model, it is equipped with a fourth-generation Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit, and a 625 Wh Bosch battery.

For the transmission, the Cube electric trail has opted for Shimano Deore with 12 speeds. This will enable you to tackle the most rugged trails in the Black Forest with ease.

For powerful braking, Cube has opted for four-piston hydraulic brakes with oversized front and rear discs. The wide tires Schwalbe 2.6" tires on this model provide good grip, giving you control in all conditions.

This technical prowess is complemented by an elegant, but above all ingenious design... The Modular Battery System keeps the battery of this VTTAE out of sight, but also out of water and dust. They're good at Cube!

Small but with a big aura, the Iberian firm has taken its MTB electric bike to the top of the list in several publications, including Pinkbike, Bike Radar and E-Mountain Magazine. L'Orbea Wild is wild thanks to its Bosch Performance Line CX engine, which develops 85 Nm of torque. This central motor is accompanied by the renowned Bosch Smart System connectivity, and a 750 Wh battery in the basic H10 version.

The wild Orbea Wild is also wise, thanks to its uncluttered frame and handlebar design. The MTB Spanish machine aims to get closer to the muscular spirit, without compromising on components. It features a 12-speed Shimano Deore XT drivetrain with Shadow Plus function, an e*thirteen crankset and Fox Float 160 mm dual suspension.

Clearly, the Orbea Wild packs a punch right from its entry-level model, and each one is very different from the next, as the manufacturer leaves the choice of many components up to you. This guarantees an eVTT that's different from the one next to it, or from that of Florencia Espiñeira, 2023 Enduro World Cup champion!

The Decathlon Rockrider E-EXPL 520 S offers excellent value for money. This entry-level full-suspension electric bike is equipped with a central Brose T aluminum motor with three electric assistance modes and a powerful 70 Nm torque.
