As the warmer months approach, Porsche is gearing up to release two new additions to their thriving eBike series. The eBike Cross Performance and the eBike Cross Performance EXC are set to raise the bar in terms of chassis performance and braking power. Additionally, the latter model will be available in six classic Porsche vehicle hues, enriching its aesthetic appeal. With two years in the market, the original Porsche eBike Cross has successfully demonstrated its dynamic capabilities and superior off-road comfort.
The new Porsche eBike Cross Performance promises to deliver an amplified adrenaline rush for biking enthusiasts. It comes equipped with the Fox Factory suspension and a robust Shimano EP-801 motor, paired with a 630 WH battery. This powerful combination ensures unmatched performance on trails, enabling riders to tackle both uphill and downhill terrains with ease. The model also features a 12-speed Shimano electric rear derailleur, ensuring the ideal gear is always at hand.
The EP-801 motor on this model offers dual riding profiles. Profile 1 provides three support modes – Eco, Trail, and Boost, allowing riders to tailor their experience based on the nature of their ride. Profile 2’s Fine Tune Mode is more flexible, with up to 15 support parameters that can be customized to suit the rider’s preferences.
Adding to the bike’s intelligent system is the Auto Shift function, which shifts the system independently. The Free Shift function, on the other hand, permits shifting without crank movement. To ensure optimal deceleration, the bike is fitted with the MT7 brake system from Magura, which includes a potent four-piston caliper crafted from forged aluminum.
The bike’s superior comfort and stability are guaranteed by the Fox 34 Float Factory suspension fork, providing 120 mm of travel, and the Fox Float DPS Factory air shock with 100 mm of travel at the back. The Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro Carbon wheel set offers a differing spoke tension on the front and rear wheel for enhanced directional stability. The bike also features a wide carbon-made B220 Flatriser 35 handlebar from Rotwild. The carbon frame’s design, inspired by the “flyline” of the Porsche 911 and the Porsche Taycan, showcases performance lettering in a matching Fox Factory color scheme.
For those seeking a more personalized biking experience, the Porsche eBike Cross Performance EXC showcases true craftsmanship with selected colors from the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. The available shades include Star Ruby Neo, Ice Gray Metallic, Mamba Green Metallic, Carmine Red, Shade Green Metallic, and Shark Blue, providing an option for every Porsche enthusiast.
Alongside the launch of these exciting new models, updates have been made to the existing Sport and Cross models. These models will also feature the Shimano EP-801 motor. The eBike Sport model will see an upgrade with a Shimano XT DI2 12-speed rear derailleur with Free Shift function. The updated Sport model, well-suited for urban environments, is now available in sleek black. The off-road optimized Cross eBike will be offered in a stylish silver variant. Both colors come in metallic options, adding a touch of sophistication.
