We've taken all the experience gained from designing some of the world's best e-mountain bikes and poured it into this versatile, sure-footed and adaptable tourer. From the steering-enhancing tapered head tube to the strong, rigid Integrated Carrier 2.0, every detail is aimed at making the Kathmandu Hybrid EXC a reliable, versatile two-wheeled companion. Built around Bosch's smaller, lighter, fourth-generation CX drive unit and a brand-new CUBE Modular Battery System, the frame's sleek appearance disguises the huge amount of time that's gone into designing and testing it.
Whatever you're looking for in an urban Bosch e-bike, you'll find it in the brand-new Kathmandu Hybrid EXC. We've taken all the experience gained from designing some of the world's best e-mountain bikes and poured it into this versatile, sure-footed and adaptable tourer. From the steering-enhancing tapered head tube to the strong, rigid Integrated Carrier 2.0, every detail is aimed at making the Kathmandu Hybrid EXC a reliable, versatile two-wheeled companion. Built around Bosch's smaller, lighter, fourth-generation CX drive unit and a brand-new CUBE Modular Battery System, the frame's sleek appearance disguises the huge amount of time that's gone into designing and testing it. Internal cable routing keeps the Shimano 11-speed transmission shifting smoothly with minimal maintenance, whilst the huge gear range and seamless power delivery from the Bosch drive system ensure that you can tackle any road with ease. The battery can be recharged in situ, and there's a choice of powerful 500Wh or 625Wh units for extended range. The mountain bike-inspired Suntour suspension fork has an easily adjustable air spring and 100mm of smooth, pothole-swallowing travel - and we even added a suspension seat post to keep you comfortably seated even on long days out. Tough, grippy Schwalbe e-bike specific tyres work with powerful Shimano hydraulic discs to keep you in control whatever the weather, and of course full-length mudguards, a kickstand and integrated lighting system mean that 'fully equipped' isn't just a marketing slogan. Where are you going tomorrow? Because one thing's for sure: the Kathmandu Hybrid EXC will get you there in style, in comfort and with a smile on your face.
