The E-Triton 7.6.1 presented itself from its best side. Due to its sophisticated frame geometry and optimal weight distribution, the bike has a "very good handling". And even in curves, in rough terrain and on cobblestones, the E-Tour bike shows a pleasant ride comfort: "upright seating position thanks to the wave frame, but still sporty on the road," is the praise of the editors.
"Bosch dominates as a drive unit manufacturer among the ten test candidates". STEVENS also relies on the reliable Bosch Performance Line CX mid-motor with 85 Newton meters of torque for the E-Triton 7.6.1. It is supplied with energy by a 625 Wh battery integrated in the down tube, offering a long range. On-top equipped with Bosch's "The smart system", the bike features the eMTB mode especially for off-road rides, which can still be individually fine-tuned and always keeps all connected components at the latest software level.
The powerful motor is also combined with a Shimano Deore 1x11-speed shifting system as standard. And to ensure that the sporty touring pedelec copes well both on the road and on gravel paths or bumpy forest trails, Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus Performance tires provide a secure grip. Not only the tires, but also the comfortable air suspension fork bring "additional, pleasant damping".
Conclusion "A long range, very good road handling and pleasant damping on rough terrain make the bike a reliable companion for long tours or daily commuting."
The E-Triton 7.6.1 thus secured 1st place in IMTEST and became the test winner with a strong overall score of GOOD (1.9).
