Rapcon :eCX
The RAPCON :eCX with a full 170 or 150 mm front suspension travel and Mullet option scores as a trail or enduro bike. With this bike SIMPLON has managed to combine contradictory demands: Less weight and more range integrated into an even slimmer design. Modularly selectable batteries with up to 750 Wh create additional flexibility on the tour. With the range extender capacity can be increased by another 250 Wh.

MAXIMUM POWER AND MINIMAL WEIGHT
The previous version of the RAPCON :e CX has already made a name for itself among e-mountain bikers as a true powerhouse with low weight. In the new version, a few grams have been saved once again, while the bike has gained in range and stiffness at the same time. The result: maximum riding pleasure combined with adventurous lightness.
You want even more agility and freedom of movement? With the Mullet option, riders can mount a 27.5” wheel in the rear via a flip chip and thus adjust the geometry.

* The effective seat angle (D) indicates the actual sitting position on the bike, measured at a reference height (D2). Due to the offset of the seat tube in relation to the bottom bracket, the effective seat angle (D) does not correspond to the seat tube angle (D1). The effective seat angle (D) is therefore calculated from the intersection of the straight line, starting from the bottom bracket, with the height of the saddle rail (D2). The height of the saddle rail (D2) corresponds to typical reference sizes for the respective frame sizes.
