The capability to do great things
Go anywhere and do everything with our most capable eMTB ever. Kado RSX's carbon fibre frameset, meticulously custom-tuned suspension, award-winning Total Geometry handling and low centre of gravity design aren't just for show: they deliver a highly capable and confidence-inspiring ride so you can tackle everything with total confidence. We've also carefully combined the finest trail-proven parts with Bosch's latest, powerfully refined and reliable CX motor, display and battery technologies. All to give you the power, control and range to take you - and your riding - further than ever before.

Slide in, slide out
Low, centered, unstoppable
As part of our Total Geometry approach, Kado RSX has been designed around the lowest, most centred centre of gravity (the point at which an object’s mass is evenly distributed and balanced) to give you the finest handling possible. By positioning the major masses of an eMTB (the motor and batteries) as low and centrally between the tyre contact patches as possible, Kado RSX delivers you balanced control, effortless agility, sure-footed stability and absolute confidence. All so you can ride faster and with more poise to master every trail.
The range to roam
Smartly connected
With the Bosch Smart System – which links up the Kado RSX's top-tube Bosch Kiox 400C LCD display, battery and motor via the eBike Flow app – you have even more information at your fingertips (both on the toptube display, and on your smartphone) to manage, tailor and personalise your bike just how you want to get even more from your riding: tune the motor support levels; upgrade to the latest motor software updates, and more. We’ve also wired-in SRAM’s AXS wireless electronic rear mech directly into the bike’s main battery, so you’ll never need to remember to charge your gears again.
