Watch out for this powerhouse! The Rapcon Pmax by Simplon is a lightweight and incredibly versatile trail fully that merits an entirely new definition of the term “E-MTB”. You’re wondering: How so? With up to 1,125 Wh of battery capacity, you’ll be “collecting” summits one after another. What gives you the power for that is the latest Bosch CX drive unit, embedded in the high-quality carbon frame. Downhill, the Rapcon Pmax impresses with strong-grip 29’’ tyres, a well-conceived geometry as well as an exceptionally plush suspension setup. Unlike any other bike, the E-MTB playfully manoeuvres you through even the most challenging of trails.

Details

Who’s the E-MTB fully perfect for? Which special features does the Rapcon Pmax have? And what sets it apart from the competition? Let’s find out … Risky rock passages, slippery hidden roots and hanging curves are your speciality? Then the mountains are calling – and the Rapcon Pmax is definitely the right way to answer! The trail and all-mountain e-mountain bike plays to its strengths both on challenging downhill passages and on steep uphill climbs. With up to 1,125 Wh under its saddle, climbing multiple summits becomes a piece of cake. If you’re into wild rides on the trails, you’ll hardly get past the Rapcon Pmax. Which other exceptional USPs does the e-fully have to offer? Read more!

Features

  • The beautifully designed carbon frame ensures low weight at optimum stiffness, and also impresses with a modern look. 
  • Special highlight: The dual-battery option with integrated 625-Wh battery and external 500-Wh battery in and on the down tube. With 1,125 Wh, you’re guaranteed nearly inexhaustible support even on long tours. Convenient: In case you don’t need the second battery, you can install a bottle cage via the mount instead. 
  • The Performance Line CX drive unit by Bosch is a true powerhouse among drive units – and of course, was built-in on the Rapcon Pmax. Even on challenging tours, it gives you even more riding fun with a torque of up to 75 Nm – at a weight of 2.9 kg and a particularly compact frame size. 
  • More agility and grip during climbs as well as better handling in curves: That’s possible thanks to mixed wheels with 29’’ in the front and 27.5’’ in the rear. The stylish Rapcon Pmax optionally rolls on 29’’ tyres too – thanks to its wide tyre clearance. By the way: Via flip-chip, the geometry can be easily adapted to individual needs.
  • The E-MTB also has extensive frame protection: stainless steel protectors on the rear bearing points, the unscrewable cable routing on the left seat stay and the battery cover made of cushioning rubber on the bottom of the down tube. 
  • The ventilation slots in the steering head let cool air enter on downhill passages and warm air exit on uphill climbs. This prevents the battery from overheating. Additionally, the cables can alternatively be routed through the ventilation slots. 

Technology

Air conditioning via the ventilation slots on the steerer head. Stainless steel protectors – Linkage Shield – that protect the carbon frame from getting scratched. The pivoting cable guide, also called Center Cable Guide in Simplon jargon, not only neatly “cleans up” the look of the bike but also sets new standards in cable routing. These fine-tuned technology features are included in the Rapcon Pmax E-MTB. You want even more? Well, here you go: 

Options

Simplon offers numerous optional features for the Rapcon Pmax – for ultimate riding fun on the trails, uphill as well as downhill. Promise! Have you ever heard of an e-suspension? Not yet? Then it’s about time! With Live Valve for the Performance Line CX drive unit, FOX offers an electronically controllable suspension setup for the first time. Via elaborate sensor technology in the front and in the rear, the particularities of the terrain are detected – 1,000 times per second – and the fork and shocks are adjusted within seconds. Unprecedented riding pleasure guaranteed! With the RockShox steel-spring shocks, the Rapcon Pmax checks all the boxes for the latest downhill-oriented trail bikes. The most important benefits: precisely adjustable pressure levels for all types of terrain and a noticeable suspension platform for maximum pedalling efficiency. And let’s not forget the modern RockShox Super Deluxe Design!
