Powerful, Agile, Innovative, Customizable, Award-winning
For the uninitiated, the thrill of traversing over mountains, trails and unchartered territories on a two-wheeler might seem a little daunting. But for those who find their adrenaline rush in the great outdoors, it's an irresistible calling. Let me tell you about this particular beast, the NOX EPIUM ALL-MTN 5.9, which has been stealing all the limelight lately.
Picture this – a seamless amalgamation of an e-bike and a bio-bike, pushing you into realms of biking experience you never thought were possible. It's like having superhuman strength to ride further and higher, yet still maintaining the raw, visceral feel of the ride we all crave. The EPIUM All-Mountain 5.9 is not just a ride, it's an adventure waiting to unfold. Be it technically demanding uphill climbs or thrilling downhill runs, casual evening rides or extensive adventure tours – this one's made for it all.
The heart of this beast is its ultra-light full carbon monocoque frame, weighing only 2.7 kg. Combine this with modern frame geometry and integrated suspension technology, you get agility that's truly unmatched. And let's not forget the emphasis on flexibility here, with the Flex-Linkage System allowing you to adjust the geometry of your bike precisely to your needs.
The power comes from the brand new FAZUA RIDE 60, with a torque of 60 Nm and a battery power of 420 Wh. Pair this with 160 mm of travel at the front and rear and 29″ wheels, you are promised traction and comfort at its best.
It's been said that the EPIUM All-Mountain 5.9 is light, quiet, powerful, and progressive. But I'd like to add that it's an experience that transcends physicality, enveloping both body and mind. And with the German Design Award in its kitty, this beauty is not just an excellent bike but also an embodiment of innovation and uncompromising quality.
The EPIUM All-Mountain 5.9 comes in three avatars – the Core, Pro, and Ultra, each equipped with unique features catering to different levels of riders. From the MARZOCCHI Bomber Z1 fork on the Core, to the FOX 36 FLOAT fork on the Ultra, it's about pushing your limits and creating your adventure.
My final word? For those who find their sanctuary in the wilderness, who are never satisfied by the limits set by conventional biking, this might be the magic carpet ride you've been waiting for. It's not about just covering the distance anymore, it's about experiencing the journey in its most exciting, most exhilarating form. Happy trails, folks.
