Adventure, power, design, endurance, personalization
Ah, the thrill of the open road – no, the off-road – whispered promises of adventure and excitement waiting beyond every curve and crest. This eBike, the Cross Performance EXC, is a beautiful piece of machinery. An engineering marvel, designed in harmony with nature, ready to conquer the rocky trails and breezy glades of your dreams. The fact that it's crafted by the same minds who brought us those German speed demons we all covet? That's the kind of pedigree you can't just ignore.
Each piece of this ride is a testament to the relentless pursuit of perfection. The carbon frame, weight-optimized for performance, is a sleek testament to speed, precision, and durability. There's a kind of poetry in its design, a visual lyricism that catches your eye and doesn't let go. Developed in partnership with ROTWILD, it's a blend of strength and sophistication.
Every detail of this machine tells a story of craftsmanship and ambition. From the Fox Factory suspension, tailored for those who dare to venture off the beaten path, to the high-octane Shimano motor promising torque that will have you climbing those steep trails as if they were flat city roads. And let's not overlook those four-piston brakes from MAGURA, ready to hold you back when gravity gets too eager.
Size matters, especially when it comes to ensuring a perfect symbiosis between rider and machine. The bike comes in three different frame sizes, each with its unique wheel dimensions, making sure that your adventure doesn't compromise on comfort and control.
The battery – now that's an interesting piece. The Shimano battery, with a capacity of up to 630 Wh, ensures that you've got the stamina to see those picturesque vistas and live to tell the tale.
There's something compelling about this eBike, something that just makes you want to get out there, feel the wind in your face, and the earth under your wheels. It's more than a means of transportation; it's a gateway to experiences and stories waiting to unfold. And for $15,350.00? Well, let's just say some stories are worth the price of admission.
All in all, the Porsche eBike Cross Performance EXC is a fantastic piece of machinery. It's not just about speed or power, but about freedom and discovery. And if there's one thing I love, it's the thrill of a new adventure.
Pros:
- High-quality components: This eBike has been equipped with high-performance components, such as the Shimano motor, the Fox Factory suspension, and MAGURA brakes. These offer top-of-the-line performance, ensuring that the bike delivers on the promise of its brand name.
- Carbon frame: The weight-optimized carbon frame, designed by Studio F. A. Porsche, is not just a work of art but also guarantees durability and a significant reduction in weight. This makes the eBike nimble and easy to maneuver.

Cons:
- Price: With a price tag of $15,350.00, this eBike is quite an investment. It's definitely on the higher end of the spectrum when compared to other electric bikes in the market.
- Accessibility: The eBike is manufactured exclusively according to order, which could mean longer waiting times compared to other off-the-shelf options.
- Complexity: With high-end components and advanced features, this eBike may require more maintenance and technical understanding than a simpler, less feature-heavy model.
- Weight: While the carbon frame does help reduce weight, the added components such as the high-capacity battery, suspension, and braking system might still make this eBike heavier than non-electric, or simpler electric alternatives.
- Overkill for casual riders: For casual riders who only need an eBike for commuting in urban settings, the off-road capabilities and high-performance components of this eBike may be more than what they need.
