If you’ve been giving ebikes the side-eye for a while, we totally understand. But here’s an ebike that we think will change your mind.
Welcome to the ebike that does it all – Imagine the feeling of being at your best on every climb AND every descent. The lightweight Phase Evo E.P.O. is here to give you just that – super legs on the way up, perfect pop and handling on the way down.
Using Bosch’s revolutionary Performance Line SX drive system, built into a sleek Orange suspension chassis, brings the perfect combination of power, efficiency and finesse into a lightweight high-performance mountain bike. With specs from 19.5kg (L frame), the Phase Evo is still built for that robust performance you expect to find in an Orange hardcore 160mm travel mountain bike.
Riding more like an ‘analogue’ mountain bike than any other E.P.O. model in our range, the Phase Evo feels agile, quick to turn and floats & launches like the bikes you know and love. You'll forget it’s even got a motor until you point the front wheel back uphill and smash the climb like a superhero.
The Phase Evo is designed with a 205x65 trunnion shock, allowing us to achieve as low as possible break away force, providing incredible sensitivity to the initial part of the shock's stroke. The shock in our factory spec runs on a full complement of bearings instead of bushings, both the trunnion mount and lower eyelet, along with all the frame pivots run on cartridge bearings
PowerMore 250 is the additional battery the size of a drinks bottle for even greater range and longer-lasting trail fun. Compact in size and weighing just 1.5 kilograms, the range extender can be easily mounted in the water bottle holder. The PowerMore 250 can be combined with PowerTubes and CompactTubes of the smart system.
There’s room on the Phase Evo Frame to include a small S.A.F.E. compartment (Stores Accessories Food & Equipment) meaning you don't have to strap so much to the outside of your bike, letting you keep it hidden but readily available. It also gives you handy access to the additional power button on the integrated downtube battery should it be required.
The charging port for the Bosch CompactTube 400 is right up and out of the way of flying water, muck and bullets. Easy to access without awkward cable jiggery pokery. The Phase Evo is suplied with the Bosch fast charger for a quick turnaround.
Mounted next to the grip, The Purion 200 Control unit and display allows you to control all functions simply with your thumb. Useful information and a quick-to-read display make this a really elegant way to control the Phase Evo
The Bosch Performance Line SX motor weighs in at a svelte 2kg, yet packs a proper punch with it’s power delivery. It is quieter, has minimal pedal resistance and coupled with the CompactTube 400 integrated battery makes for a lightweight bike that rides and feels like your analogue trail bike, but giving you an added superpower.
