Scott The Ultimate Carbon E-MTB – the ALL NEW 2020 Genius eRIDE

January 22, 2020

Trails seem unsurmountable. Perhaps they are too steep, too far to access by normal means, or too daunting. Regardless of the reason, one thing is for sure, once you ride them it is always worth it. We don’t think that the fun should only start on the down, but that it should be a present factor throughout the whole ride. The Genius eRIDE with its pedaling assist changes the game allowing you to reach any trail, any time.

DESIGN AND INTEGRATION

Far from a battery just slapped on the downtube like with other manufacturers, our design and development team have worked hard to give the Genius eRIDE a unique character. The silhouette of the Genius eRIDE highlights the DNA of SOCTT MTBs while its frontend reveals all the power and character of the bike. The drive unit size combined with the lines of the bike makes the Genius eRIDE’s profile more compact than ever before.

CARBON EXPERTS – eRIDE POWER SHELL

BASIC CARBON E-BIKE CONSTRUCTION

A single shell tube with non-continuous carbon fibers. By being cut the carbon fibers can lose their strength properties. With this standard construction it’s hard to control comfort vs stiffness.

SCOTT eRIDE POWER SHELL CONSTRUCTION

Thanks to the eRIDE Power Shell construction, Carbon fibers have not been cut as the tube is completely closed. It results in a stronger structure and allowed us to be lighter than a standard carbon construction for the equivalent stiffness. Thanks to the eRIDE Power Shell, SCOTT engineers were able to control compliance in precise areas. The space between the two shells is used to route the cables through the frame for a cleaner finish. No tools needed to remove the battery, open the lock and your battery is free.

ELECTRIC PEDAL ASSIST – BOSCH PERFORMANCE CX

The Genius eRIDE is assisted by the new Bosch Performance CX Generation 4 with a maximum power output of 75Nm and 340%. The Genius eRIDE can be powered by up to 1125Wh thanks to a 500Wh Range Booster and the bike’s 625Wh battery. Choose between 5 assist modes or opt for the comfort of the eMTB mode which automatically adapts to a natural feeling assist. Rely on the best drive unit available on the market.

UP TO 1125WH – SCOTT RANGE BOOSTER TECHNOLOGY

SCOTT RANGE BOOSTER MOUNT

SCOTT’s eRIDE engineering team has developed a specific mount which is fixed on the bottle cage slots.

RANGE BOOSTER WITH EXTRA 500WH BATTERY

A standard 500Wh Bosch battery can be added on the Range Booster mount. This results in a total of 1125Wh. To recharge, just one charger is needed. The Bosch digital display takes into consideration both batteries. Focus on your journey and not on your battery level!
