Demanding downhills, steep climbing sections, and big jumps - if you prefer the tough route, the SONIC EVO EN-SL 1 is just right for you. Equipped with an extremely lightweight carbon frame, the new SHIMANO EP8 drive, and RockShox suspension with 160/150mm travel, you can make the most of trail rounds and tours. The SONIC frame concept offers a whole range of meaningful innovations, such as the enlarged 1.8-inch head tube with precision bearings and a custom fork standard. The result is greater steering stability and higher control on descents. This is also supported by the proven frame geometry with a slack head angle and extended reach. For maximum climbing capabilities, the particularly powerful, quiet, and smooth-running SHIMANO EP8 drive with 85 Newton meters of torque draws its energy from the semi-integrated battery unit with a carbon housing. Together with other components like the 12-speed transmission of the brand-new SHIMANO XT Di2 group with FREE SHIFT, the four-piston brake system, and the grippy SCHWALBE tire combo, it creates a sporty unit that offers maximum performance for tough enduro use.
