DI.A 2016 Expert Discussion: Redefine E-MTB Performance

E-Mountain bikes redefine the constraints of time, they push the boundaries, our own personal limits and give us a completely new feel for riding – or, at least, that’s what the theory says.

The new ways of thinking such as Gravel, Endurance and Cross Adventure all have a touch of the road and a sprinkling of the mountain in differing quantities, honing them to be the best in their niche. The Gold Award winning Open U.P. blends qualities of both worlds to create something amazing, more than the sum of its parts, a revelation that opens new doors. We are also starting to see the two worlds take cues from each other more and more, ideas and concepts shared between the polar disciplines via all the intermediaries.
