DiamondBack Corax 1.0 27+ MTB Electric Bike
The entry level dual suspension electric mountain bike in this range, the Corax 1.0 still has many specs that are a step above its rivals at the same price point. Chew up the trails with the Bosch CX motor that kicks like a mule!
Corax 1.0 Features
A very good machine for off-road riding, you will be able to get uphill as comfortably as you will down due to the 140mm travel ROCKSHOX Monarch R shock and ROCKSHOX Sektor Silver TK 27+ front forks. A dropper post allows for different riding positions according to the terrain you’re facing too.
The Shimano SLX 11 speed, 11-42t gears will see you through some fast flat and downhill sections and some economical climbing should you want to put more through your legs and less through the motor to conserve battery. Stopping and speed control is with Shimano disc brakes own 1800mm rotors that are low maintenance and yet will work well in whatever conditions you throw at them.
The WTB Scraper rims run on fat, WTB Ranger 27.5×2.8 tyres that will grip those slippery bits yet won’t do too badly when you leave the path. You may well buy this bike as a comfortable XC bike that can handle the odd fast, downhill stretch – a wolf in sheep’s clothing? A pleasure to ride all round.
All of this is on the Bosch CX motor and Purion control panel with a 400Wh Bosch battery.
Bosch CX 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!
The 400Wh battery is mounted low down on the frame, keeping the weight low. It will give you upto 108 miles of eco riding.
