“Perfect blend of safety and downhill fun!” – that’s how test rider Florentin describes our motorised enduro bike. With its dynamic, whisper-quiet performance, robust geometry, and top-notch equipment, the RAPCON PMAX TQ is the go-to choice if you want to excel in the e-enduro category. Using SIMPLON’s convenient bike configurator, you can tailor the bike to your individual preferences.

To read the full test report, take a look at EMTB Magazine’s 05/2023 issue (Oct./Nov.2023). Online, you can find the direct comparison results, and an extensive test report exclusively on the RAPCON PMAX TQ (both available in German only). (For whatever reason, the “battle winner” distinction is only shown in the printed magazine though.)
