Rapcon :ePinion
The future is now! The RAPCON :ePinion marks the beginning of a new era of E-MTBs and outshines everything that has come before. The revolutionary PINION drive combines motor and gearbox in one housing and makes vulnerable derailleurs obsolete. The centre of gravity of this system is more central than ever. In combination with the selectable chassis with Mullet option and 160/170 or 160/160 mm travel, this results in unbeatable riding performance. The flexible battery range with up to 1495 Wh transforms the bike into an enduring climber.

* 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.

COMPACT AND LOW MAINTENANCE. THE DRIVE SYSTEM FROM PINION
The Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU) from Pinion manages to merge a powerful, wear-free motor and electronic gear shifting into an innovative drive unit system, all under the same housing. The advantages are:
- The all-in-one Pinion MGU requires (apart from an oil change every 10.000 km) zero maintenance.
- Thanks to the long-lasting belt drive, there is no need for a chain and rear derailleur - two components that are constantly exposed to dirt and water. The advantage: significantly reduced service efforts.
- Without a rear derailleur and cassette, and with the central placement of the motor-gear unit in the bottom bracket area, the mass on the rear wheel shrinks to a minimum. The result: optimal weight distribution with balanced handling off-road.
-
The integrated gearbox enables uninterrupted shifting under full load. If desired, the Pinion MGU can change gears automatically.
