Bergamont introduces the E-Horizon SUV FS 10, an innovative e-bike that merges the rugged capabilities of a mountain bike with the enduring comfort of a trekking bike. Dubbed an “SUV e-bike,” this model is designed to handle various terrains effortlessly, making it an ideal choice for adventurous commuters and outdoor enthusiasts. However, its premium features do come with a hefty price tag and a heavier build.
The E-Horizon SUV FS 10 is essentially an e-mountain bike, equipped with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor paired with an 800 Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, ensuring long and powerful rides. The frame design is borrowed from Bergamont’s E-Revox FS series, known for durability and strength. The bike is fitted with both a suspension fork and shock absorber, providing a 130-millimeter suspension travel, a feature not commonly found on traditional trekking bikes.
For those who appreciate detailed feedback on their rides, the E-Horizon SUV FS 10 integrates a Bosch Intuvia 100 display. This onboard screen offers insights into distance traveled, trip duration, riding range, speed, and more. Riders can further explore its features through a Mini Remote, enhancing convenience with options like the smart walk assist feature.
The bicycle includes a Shimano derailleur gear system with 10 gears, ideal for tackling a variety of riding scenarios, including situations without electrical support. Moreover, its safety features are top-notch, with hydraulic disc brakes on both ends, ensuring reliable stopping power.
Additional conveniences include a solid luggage rack, practical mudguards, and a kickstand, contributing to its total weight of around 64.4 pounds (29.2 kilograms). Designed to accommodate a total system weight of up to 353 pounds (160 kilograms), it’s built to carry gear and passengers comfortably. The bike is also equipped with an LED lighting system that not only lights up the path ahead but also includes a brake light function for enhanced safety during nighttime rides.
Priced at 5,499€ or 5,099£, the Bergamont E-Horizon SUV FS 10 is a significant investment but promises a versatile and robust riding experience that is not yet available in every country listed on the Bergamont website. It’s a worthy contender for those seeking a powerful and adaptable e-bike that can seamlessly transition from city streets to forest trails.
