Beautifully light, reassuringly strong
The beating heart of every ELyte is an all-new, lightweight yet strong carbon fibre chassis that carefully packages Bosch's light and powerful Performance Line SX mid-torque (55Nm), full power (600W) motor and 400Wh internal battery seamlessly so you can fly under the radar as stealthily as you’ll fly down the trails.
Exceptional handling, however you ride
We've carefully positioned the mass of the Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender – included with both Works bikes as standard – as low in the frame as possible to optimise the bike's centre of gravity and deliver an exceptional handling bike, however you want to ride: with the range extender on for longer rides out in the hills, or without for lapping your local trails.
Similarly, without the PowerMore in place, you can run a full 750ml water bottle in the same rock-bottom low position, using the supplied bottle cage mount, for the same handling win.
Natural ride response
With its sensitive and reactive response, the new Bosch Performance Line SX motor delivers a more natural ride experience than the full-fat Performance Line CX motor, rewarding higher pedalling cadences and rider effort as it delivers up to 340% support and 600W of peak power. This means it requires you to pedal at higher cadences (around 100-105rpm) to unlock its higher support and peak power but, once there, it will sustain that support even up steep and technical climbs. The motor’s narrower 160mm Q-factor is also more akin to mechanical (analogue) bikes, too.
Trail proven parts
Every ELyte is specced to perform from off the shop floor, with nothing that has been put on the bike to shave grams just to grab a headline. It’s all trail-proven, real-world kit that will serve any rider flawlessly: trail-tough, reinforced tyres; reliably powerful four-pot brakes; full-length dropper posts; wide handlebars, and usage-appropriate forks (34s for the XC/trail ELyte 140 Works + 35/36s on the ELyte 150 bikes), so there’s no need to compromise on the way you ride.
