DiamondBack Corax 2.0 27+ MTB Electric Bike
This dual suspension off-road monster is built around the Bosch CX Performance power system, making for a very good off-road bike that will love the hardest of terrain.
Features
Diamondback is a byword for off-road riding quality. The Corax 2.0 27+ dual suspension eMTB is built around the top end Bosch CX Performance motor that is controlled with the Purion display – this is made for the rider who wants to spend less time on statistical analysis and more time riding.
On the frame is the RockShox Yari fork with 140mm travel that should be able to smooth out all but the untidiest of bumps you hit at speed. Under the saddle is a 140mm travel Monarch Plus R Debonair shock that works in concert with the front forks to create a smooth ride. You also have a stealth dropper post for different riding positions as you blast along the trail.
The drivetrain on the Corax 2.0 is a Shimano XT 11 speed system on an 11-42 cassette, which both allows for good speeds on the smallest cog and a nice big one for those bigger climbs. Stopping is with Shimano hydraulic discs on 180mm rotors, allowing for great speed control, no matter what you throw at them.
All of this connects to the trail (and the odd road) with WTB RANGER 2.8in tyres & WTB i40 scraper rims that together make for great off-road riding.
Though this is a very good off-road machine, for your longer rides across the countryside you won’t be slowed down on the harder stuff. The Corax 2.0 is a great cross country ride and will eat up those trails like you’ve never done before.
Bosch CX Performance crank drive & Purion display
With up to 75Nm of torque the 250 Watt motor can kick like a mule when you ask it to – perhaps as you race to the top for another blast down those trails. On the High setting you can get up to 3 Watts for every Watt of power you put into the pedal, allowing for blistering acceleration and a smooth pull up the steep ascents.
The control system display is the Bosch Purion screen that shows just a few parameters from speed to how much juice there is left in the battery. It is designed with the rider in mind who just needs the odd glance at the control system – and not to work out a statistical analysis as they do it!
