NS Bikes E-Fine 1 Suspension E-BikeThe E-Fine 1 from NS Bikes is engineered and exceptionally kitted out for hardcore trail riding up and down the mountainside, anywhere on Earth. It features an agile, lightweight and robust alloy frame armed with 170mm-travel RockShox ZEB Charger R suspension forks and 160mm-travel RockShox Super Deluxe Coil rear shock. This all-mountain suspension combo soaks up all the hits and knocks from rough terrain while ensuring you experience outstanding control and traction.Adding to its versatility, the E-Fine 1 rolls upon a 29" front and a 27.5" rear wheel to help maintain a superb balance of control, rolling speed and traction. NS Bikes has selected Tubeless Ready NS Bikes Enigma rims, NS Rotary Boost hubs and Maxxis Assegai MaxxGrip tyres - this wheelset is ideal for all-mountain, enduro and downhill trail riding sessions.Shimano Deore 12-Speed Groupset and Magura MT7 Disc BrakesNS has fitted it with a Shimano EP8 electric motor drive that gives you a pedal-assisted push up the steepest hills and enables you to keep some energy in reserve for the descents. And it is also equipped with a Shimano Deore 12-Speed groupset, a wide-ranging 11-51T cassette and Magura MT7 hydraulic disc brakes.Over the years, NS Bikes have tested a lot of electric bikes (E-Bikes) but there was never any bike that truly stole their team’s heart. It took them a while to figure out what kind of bike we want to make for NS.E-Bike Specific Geometry and Suspension PlatformThey ask themselves, what makes an E-Bike great? Well, if you put the motor aside for a moment, it all comes down to the bike’s geometry and suspension, and these are the main points that NS focused on. They looked for a geometry that works best on a motor assisted bike - and it’s not necessarily the same as on their “analog” products. The geometry must be complemented by suspension that works perfectly on a bike that is inherently heavier than a normal mountain bike (MTB), and the tyres, brakes and cockpit all need to have more of a “moto” character.Shimano EP8 Pedal-Assisted Electric Motor DriveBack to the motor: there are no “bad” drive units on the market these days. But what NS think is critical for their customers is reliability and easily accessible service if something goes wrong. That’s why they chose to work with Shimano. Since both NS Bikes and Shimano similar values and Shimano offers excellent customer service around the globe.Everyone loved the new EP8 motor from Shimano. It kicks in seamlessly and its weight and size have been reduced significantly. It’s almost 400g lighter than its predecessor, the E8000. The second important feature is that Shimano cut drag by 50%. It’s now almost comparable to a muscle-powered drivetrain.RockShox ZEB Suspension Forks and Super Deluxe Coil Rear ShockOne of the key things NS noticed is that the NS Crew doesn’t dig wimpy rides. So, they made sure that the E-Fine is a big, burly machine. It’s fitted with the excellent RockShox ZEB suspension fork with massive 38mm stanchions and 170mm of travel, powerful brakes and aggressive tyres.Other essential features of the drive unit include improved ground clearance, low Q-factor and new short cranks (160mm). All this means that NS could make the bottom bracket (BB) really low without fear of pedal strikes. Just in case, they included an option to adjust the height of the BB to suit personal preferences).Powerful and Versatile Full-Suspension E-BikeSo, have NS succeeded in making an E-Bike that all the guys in our team would love? Well, even the most die-hard dirt jumpers in the NS company are lining up to borrow a prototype for a weekend of shredding, which is something that they haven’t seen with other E-Bikes that have been laying around the office. Their team riders also love the E-Fine, their close friends who would never consider going electric are changing their minds.The NS Bikes E-Fine 1 Suspension E-Bike is everything NS set out to create and it performs exceptionally anywhere in the mountains.Key Features: Suspension Travel: 170mm Front / 160mm Rear Tough Alloy Frame with Double Pass Welds Shimano EP8 Pedal-Assisted Drive Unit Integrated Shimano High-capacity Battery Progressive Geometry with 44mm Fork Rake RockShox Fork Zeb with 38mm Stanchions RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Select Shock X-fusion Manic Dropper Seatpost Shimano Deore 1x12-Speed Drivetrain Powerful Magura MT7 Hydraulic Disc Brakes All-Terrain Maxxis Assegai MaxxGrip 3C DD Tubeless Ready TyresFeatures: Frame: NS Bikes E-fine AL with 160mm travel, AL6061-T6 + AL6066-T6, custom hydroformed tubes, Shimano ep8 drive unit, integrated Shimano battery hight-capacity Motor Drive: Shimano EP8 Headunit/Display: Shimano SC-E5003 Cycle Computer with Assist Switch (SD300 port) Battery: Shimano STEPS: BT - E8036, Capacity 17.5 (Ah) / 630 (Wh) Rear Shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Select, Trunnion 205x62,5 Forks: RockShox ZEB Charger R 29, E-MTB, 15x110mm Boost, 1.5 tapered steerer tube, 44mm offset Headset: NS Bikes custom tapered IS42/IS52 reach adjustable offset cups (+/-10mm), sealed bearing Stem: NS Quantum Lite 35, 45mm Handlebar: NS Bar 35, 800mm, 20mm rise Grips: NS Hold Fast Seatpost: X-Fusion Manic internal S:125, M:150, L: 170mm, 31,6mm / Race Face Aeffect R * Saddle: WTB Volt Medium Chromoly (CrMo) Brakes: Magura MT7, 203mm Rims: NS Enigma Rock 29” front, NS Enigma Rock 27,5” rear, 32h, tubeless ready Spokes: Spokes with 14mm nipples Front Hub: NS Bikes Rotary 110x15mm Boost (sealed bearings) Rear Hub: NS Rotary Cassette 148x12mm Boost (sealed bearings) Tyres: Front / Rear: Maxxis Assegai MaxxGrip 3C DD TR 29x2.50 / Maxxis Assegai MaxxGrip 3C DD TR 27.5x2.50 Crankset: Shimano FC-EM600 160mm 36t Bottom Bracket: Shimano Steps Ep84.9 Chain: Shimano Deore CN-M6100, 12-Speed Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore RD-M6100, 12-Speed Shifter: Shimano Deore SL-M6100, Rapidfire Plus, 12-Speed Cassette: Shimano CS-MZ800, 11-51t, 12-Speed Weight: 24.5 kg (* M size, tubeless setup)Please NoteThis E-Bike (electric bike) has a max assisted speed of 25 km/h / 15.5 mphEasy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
