The Mag Bike ET.1. is a brand-new E-bike crafted by Austrian e-bike specialists, and one look at this bike suggests that it is a dream come true for performance enthusiasts. What sets the ET.1 apart is its unique blend of a magnesium frame and a powerful motor, marking a notable shift in e-MTB design.
The ET.1’s magnesium frame is a game
changer. Magnesium, not as common in bike frames as other materials, offers a
significant weight reduction—about 30% lighter compared to its aluminum
counterparts. This reduction brings the bike’s weight to 22 kilograms. While not exactly light, this weight supports robust features such as
long suspension travel and durable wheels and tires, making the ET.1 a
resilient choice for adventurous trails.
Mag Bike has not just focused on the
frame; the suspension is equally impressive. With a Cane Creek Helm MKII fork
and a Cane Creek Kitsuma Coil rear shock, the bike boasts 160 millimeters of
suspension travel on both the front and rear. This advanced suspension setup
ensures that the ET.1 can gracefully handle the rigors of off-road terrain. For
gearheads, the ET.1’s 12-speed Sram drivetrain and RockShox Reverb AXS dropper
seatpost offer quick adjustments and smooth performance. Adding to this is a
set of Hope Tech4 brakes and Maxxis Rekon tires, ensuring reliable stopping
power and grip.
Powering the ET.1 is the compact yet
potent Brose S Mag motor, delivering 90 newton-meters of torque and an assisted
top speed of 25 kilometers per hour. The bike’s
725-watt-hour battery’s range is yet to be announced, but with the Brose
Allround display, riders can easily track their battery level and other essential
ride statistics.
While the pricing and availability of the
Mag Bike ET.1 are still under wraps, its high-end features suggest a premium
price tag. This e-MTB is not just a bike; it’s a statement in the evolving
world of electric mountain biking, combining innovative materials with
top-notch performance features. As the e-bike market grows, the ET.1 stands out
as a remarkable example of what modern technology and design can bring to the
adventurous rider.
