A growing trend among for-sport electric bicycles like e-MTBs and electric road bikes has been trading extra motor power for lighter weight and more natural pedal assistance. We're seeing this in new e-bike motors like the Bosch Performance Line SX, TQ Harmonic Pin Ring System, and the Mahle X20. Now, more and more high-end e-bikes with an eye on sporty riding are adopting these systems.
An excellent example of this is the recently launched 3T Exploro RaceMax Boost X20, a lightweight electric gravel bike from Italian bike specialist 3T. Here, the bike is all about providing an authentic riding experience in a lightweight package. The limited edition version of this e-bike, dubbed the 1961, pays homage to 3T's founding year. Even more fittingly, the Exploro RaceMax Boost X20 1961 is produced and assembled in the brand's factory in Torino, Italy. The bike was proudly displayed at Eurobike 2023, and is adorned in a striking orange colorway with "Tecno Turbo Torino," the brand's name spelled out, boldy printed onto the frame.
