The eSilex+ 600 is a gravel bike with motor assistance, letting you ride further, take on more and generally grin a lot more while you're at it. This version rolls on 650b wheels with big 47mm Maxxis Rambler tyres for extra comfort and grip on rougher gravel.
It uses MAHLE's ebikemotion system, with a 40Nm rear hub motor powered by a 250Wh battery hidden inside the down tube. The low system weight, combined with a carbon fork and a sophisticated hydroformed aluminium frame, means it still feels lively with the assistance off, and there's almost no drag from the motor when it isn't engaged. An iWoc button controls the support levels, and the app lets you fine-tune the ride feel and review your rides afterwards.
The frame has mounts for mudguards and a rack plus a neat hidden kickstand mount, and cables enter through a dedicated headset cap to keep the cockpit tidy. The 600 build steps up to a simple, wide-range SRAM Apex 1x12 drivetrain with an 11-50T cassette, SRAM Apex hydraulic brakes, tubeless-ready rims and a carbon seatpost.
