CTM SWITCH Xpert - matt Anthracite XL, 2024

The MTB e-bike to conquer the unconquerable! The Switch flawlessly fits the description "half Enduro / half Trail Bike". We've taken a chance on the Mullet Bike concept (29" wheel front / 27.5" wheel rear). The main advantages of this solution are the 29" front wheel, which gives precise direction, plus guarantees more stability, and the 27.5" rear wheel, which guarantees maximum power transfer, traction and especially agility. The frame with its new industrial design offers 150mm of travel and the time-tested FSS virtual suspension system. The geometry is tuned for demanding terrain and technical trails. Energy is put into the pedals by SHIMANO's new SHIMANO. We're talking about the EP8 electric motor, which is smaller, quieter, more powerful (up to 85 Nm) and offers a much more refined ride with a range of up to 100km. The drive also supports the Walk function, where it helps push the bike up steep gradients that you can't climb anymore. The battery is a Shimano BT-8036, which has a 630Wh capacity and doesn't diminish significantly even after 1,000 charge cycles. The battery can also be removed from the bottom frame tube and charged off the bike. The rear suspension is handled by a Suntour RS21 VoroCoil TR shock absorber. Up front, the Rock Shox 35 GOLD RL fork with 160mm of travel handles the tough terrain. The 11-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain offers a wide range of gears. E-bikes carry some extra weight, especially in the form of the motor and battery, so efficient and extra strong brakes are required. So we fitted proper anchors - Tektro Orion four-piston brakes with large, 203mm discs. A KindShock RAGEi telescopic seatpost with the following strokes (M-125mm/L-150mm/XL-170mm) rounds out the equipment. The WTB Volt saddle brings comfort on long rides. The Switch offers a whole new level of cycling. Discover it!
