Out now: the new SIMPLON bikes 2023

Lighter, stiffer, more comfortable and also more powerful – this year’s new additions to SIMPLON’s bike range set new standards. With electric assistance or without – the newcomers definitely don’t lack any drive. Weight was saved in the frames’ construction, while stiffness was increased. You can already guess what the highly pleasing result is: exactly – uncompromising power transfer along with maximum riding pleasure.

Both off-road enthusiasts and city bikers will find what they are looking for. The fourth generation of the Razorblade 29 or the Rapcon Pmax continue to lose weight. With the Spotlight II, the SCS+ technology and the adjustable seatpost ensure maximum comfort – on the saddle as well as when getting on and off the bike.

The absolute highlights this season : SIMPLON welcomes the Rapcon Pmax TQ and the Silkcarbon TQ to the bike family. The new TQ drive unit is barely audible or visible. Both the motor and the battery blend harmoniously into the bike’s design. The display in the top tube shows important information such as the range or riding mode.

The full-suspension powerhouse - Rapcon Pmax CX

Less is more – especially when it comes to the weight of a bike. And the Rapcon Pmax CX’s weight has been significantly reduced again. The weight loss of one kilogram compared to its predecessor is mainly due to the sophisticated build of the carbon frame. The closed down tube, which houses the slide-in battery, provides even more stiffness. Xi-Geometry – the technology for a frame size-specific length of the chainstays – ensures even wheel load distribution, optimal handling and maximum safety. 

Highlights

• The battery comes with 750-Wh as the standard. Optionally, a 625-Wh or 500-Wh battery can be used.
• ultra-slim down tube thanks to special cable routing
• The travel of the long seat post ensures maximum freedom of movement on technically demanding sections.
• suspension travel either with 150 mm in the front and rear or 170 mm in the front and 165 mm in the rear

Features | equipment

• 750-Wh battery also available for frame size S
• slide-in battery concept allows for a closed down tube – for increased frame stiffness
• geometry adjustment via flip-chip for mullet option (27.5” rear wheel) and a more agile riding behaviour
