The Ascent X tops the Ascent line. Its Bafang M510 mid-drive makes 95 Nm, the most torque of any VelectriX eBike we list, and it sits in a 29" aluminium frame with a 120 mm fork and a dropper post. Pick it if your rides take in steep climbs, rail trails and mild off-road tracks.
- Serious climbing help: the Bafang M510 mid-drive (250 W, 36 V) delivers 95 Nm through a torque sensor that matches assist to your effort.
- Go further: a 36 V, 504 Wh Reention Mini Eel battery gives up to 70 km per charge.
- More travel up front: an RST Blaze suspension fork with 120 mm travel.
- Dropper as standard: an Exaform hydraulic dropper post with 125 mm travel gets the saddle out of the way on descents.
- Grip and control: Kenda Booster 29" x 2.4" tyres, a 720 mm bar on a 50 mm stem, and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.
- Ten gears: Shimano CUES 10-speed with a shift sensor.
Road legal, pedal-assist only
For all its torque, the Ascent X is a 250 W pedal-assist eBike with no throttle, and assistance stops at 25 km/h. It is built to EN15194 and road legal in every Australian state and territory.
Sizing
The Ascent X comes in Black: Medium for riders 165–180 cm and Large for 180–195 cm. It weighs 23.5 kg including the battery and is rated for a 110 kg rider plus 25 kg of luggage on a rear rack (optional accessory).
Tune Cycles in Marrickville, Sydney, can set up your Ascent X and keep the drivetrain and suspension in good order.
