French mountain bike brand under the Decathlon group, Rockrider is already working on its 2023 roster as the current season comes to a close. The Decathlon group brand unveiled its new line of electric mountain bikes at the Roc d’Azur, a sizable gathering of mountain bike aficionados held annually in Fr\u00e9jus, France. It is referred to as E-EXPL and comes in 5 variations.<\/p>\n

The Rockrider E-EXPL 520 is the company’s entry-level model and is propelled by a 50 Nm Yamaha PW CE motor built into the crankset. It has four assist modes and is powered by a 500 Wh battery built into the frame. The E-EXPL 520 comes in four frame sizes, has 29-inch wheels, 180mm Tektro disc brakes, and an 8-speed Microshift derailleur. The 130 mm Suntour XCM fork on this hardtail electric mountain bike<\/a> is basic yet robust.<\/p>\n

The 520S variant, which is higher on the ladder, has better equipment due to its full-suspension frame. It receives a more powerful motor, as well as X-Fusion suspension parts as standard equipment. The T drive, which is provided by Brose, produces up to 70 Nm of torque. The 520S’s battery<\/a> is a 500 Wh one, identical to the one in the 520.<\/p>\n

The Rockrider E-EXPL 500S, which sits halfway between the 520 and 520S, combines a 500Wh battery with a 50Nm Brose C drive motor. A tiny Ergo 900 display is built into the handlebars, similar to earlier generations. You can pick from 4 different assist modes. The Rockrider 500S sports a full suspension configuration and is furnished with X-Fusion suspension parts, a Tektro braking system, and an 8-speed Shimano derailleur.<\/p>\n
