The reengineered ALUXX SL Aluminum frameset has a new SyncDrive Pro pedal-assist system that’s powered by a Shimano EP8 motor with 85Nm of torque. This customized powertrain produces smooth acceleration on paved roads, gravel or dirt.

You can switch support modes using Shimano Di2 shift levers, allowing for a clean cockpit setup without an additional control unit.

The unique SmartAssist motor automatically adapts to your riding style so you don’t need to adjust support levels while riding. Wider tires and integrated rack mounts allow you to customize your adventure with fenders, racks or whatever other accessories you desire.
