With the E-Grifn, you go further, longer, and higher than ever before.
A distinctive feature of this e-bike is the choice of the Mahle X20 drive unit. This is a compact and proven system that makes the impossible possible. The assistance is proportional to the force you apply to the pedals, achieved through the use of a torque sensor in the bottom bracket communicating with the software. You feel like you're always riding with a delightful breeze at your back, making every journey feel like a sporty endeavor.
An advantage of the X20 motor is that it runs virtually without additional mechanical resistance above the limit of 25 kilometers per hour. The power delivery of the system gradually fades out, ensuring a very fluid bike experience. This also contributes to the natural feeling on the bike. Moreover, you can control the motor with your smartphone via the Mahle app and customize it to your preferences. The system even adapts to your riding behavior. With Mahle X20, you have three levels of bike assistance tailored specifically for the Grifn by Ridley's product managers in collaboration with Mahle. This 'custom mapping' is a typical example of Ridley's eternal quest for perfection.
The geometry of the E-Grifn is the same as that of the Grifn RS, with a removable front derailleur clamp, space for tires up to 42 millimeters, and the UDH hanger. The battery is neatly integrated into the frame, maintaining the sporty look of the E-Grifn.
