    Battery out in seconds

    The battery can be removed easily via the battery hatch. It is a rare feature on today’s e-MTBs and gives you maximum flexibility for charging and everyday use.

    Clear view, no distractions

    Easy control via the remote, clear information on the 2-inch Kiox 400c display in the top tube (in the Expert and Ultimate packages).

    Ready for heavy-duty use

    With a 150 kg system weight, the bike offers plenty of reserves for gear, luggage and demanding e-MTB rides. Stable on any terrain.

    Dual protection, one solution

    The combined foot-drop protector and chainstay guard reduces chain noise and prevents unwanted foot contact. Ideal for technical e-MTB terrain.

    Cable routing that saves time

    External cable routing simplifies servicing. Optionally, the cables can be routed internally through the headset for an even cleaner cockpit.

    Mechanical by choice.

    The best of both worlds: UDH derailleur hanger for maximum stability, combined with the proven reliability of a mechanical drivetrain.

    CORE SELECTION: quick availability, short waiting times, start riding immediately

    The CORE Line offers pre-configured focus models at fixed prices, put together by developers, experts, and athletes.

    Trailspaß ohne Kompromisse

    Some rides are planned short and simply turn into something longer. The RIFT :e is made for exactly those rides. For riders who value a light, agile feel but still want real range. A 600 or 800 Wh battery provides solid reserves, while a dual-battery setup or range extender keeps your options open when a spontaneous extra trail comes into play.

    The balanced suspension platform and efficient geometry ensure the bike remains calm and controlled, even after many hours in the saddle. Thoughtful details such as double-row bearings at the pivot points, a service-friendly headset and uniform bearings throughout help keep maintenance effort low. Mounting points for accessories, plus preparation for a kickstand, mudguards and a luggage rack, add versatility without changing the character of the bike.

    The RIFT :e is for those who love long rides, enjoy taking the occasional unplanned turn and are looking for an e-MTB that reliably supports them, even when the day stretches on.

    * The effective seat angle (D) indicates the actual sitting position on the bike, measured at a reference height (D2). Due to the offset of the seat tube in relation to the bottom bracket, the effective seat angle (D) does not correspond to the seat tube angle (D1). The effective seat angle (D) is therefore calculated from the intersection of the straight line, starting from the bottom bracket, with the height of the saddle rail (D2). The height of the saddle rail (D2) corresponds to typical reference sizes for the respective frame sizes.
