AuthorElevation (E-MTB)

Algupära
The Elevation brought Author into the e-MTB market with a fully integrated approach — the 504 Wh Shimano battery disappears inside the alloy frame rather than bolting on externally. The Shimano Steps ecosystem (motor + battery + display) was chosen for its reliability and dealer-service network. At 22 kg with a 100 km+ claimed range, the Elevation targets recreational trail riders who want e-assistance without the visual weight of an external battery.

Verdikt

- RST F1RST fork quality doesn't match Bosch/FOX builds at this weight
