You didn’t plan to ride that far. You definitely didn’t plan to climb that again.
But here you are — still pedalling, still smiling.
The Embolden E+ makes mountain biking feel easier and a lot more fun. A smooth, powerful SyncDrive Pro 3X motor delivers up to 100Nm of natural-feeling support, turning steep climbs into momentum and long rides into something you don’t want to end.
With 150mm of travel up front and 140mm at the rear, the suspension keeps the bike calm and confident when trails get rough. Technical sections feel more manageable, descents feel more composed, and flow comes easier as the ride unfolds.
From the very first ride, Embolden E+ invites you to try more — longer loops, new lines, and trails that once felt out of reach. Not because it asks you to push harder, but because it makes riding feel better.
Because when a bike puts this much joy into the ride, stopping early is rarely part of the plan.

This updated rear suspension system delivers smooth control and uncompromising efficiency for confident trail riding performance. Its single-pivot design isolates the rear shock and produces 140mm of fully active, groundtracking suspension. The result is greater control to fly down technical descents and hammer up steep climbs.
KEY BENEFITS
ULTRA-SMOOTH ACTION
This linkage-driven, single-pivot system produces consistent damping and spring performance throughout its travel. The rear shock is isolated to provide small-bump sensitivity through the entire wheel path, delivering a smooth, active feel through the entire shock stroke with no harsh bottom-outs.
PRECISION AND STABILITY
A one-piece rocker arm saves weight and allows the rocker to fully grip the shock, ensuring consistent shock movement and efficient transfer of trail impacts. Reduced rear triangle deformation improves frame stability and tracking accuracy, helping the bike stay composed and predictable through rough, high-speed sections.
LESS IS MORE
The minimal flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction creates a ground-tracking, fully active system with fewer complex pivots, linkages and additional frame reinforcements. This makes it a durable system that requires less maintenance.
OPTIMIZED ANTI-RISE
Anti-rise is tuned to match Embolden E+’s longer travel and higher-power positioning. Under hard braking, the suspension helps counteract excessive fork dive while allowing the rear wheel to remain active, keeping the bike balanced and predictable as terrain gets steeper and more technical. By maintaining a stable center of gravity between the front and rear, the system improves control and confidence when braking into rough sections—without making the rear end feel harsh or locked to the ground.
WHAT IT IS
A dedicated E-MTB Trail fork and shock system, engineered from the ground up to meet the unique demands of electric mountain biking. Designed to handle increased system weight, higher torque, and sustained trail loads, this E-optimized suspension delivers consistent support, confident traction, and controlled stability throughout the entire stroke.
WHY WE MADE IT WHO
To solve EMTB riders’ biggest pain points—complex setup and unstable feel under added weight and torque—delivering easy control, strong support, and confidence from setup to hardcore trail riding.
FOR
For riders who came to E-MTB for more laps, steeper lines, and more fun—and need suspension that’s easy to set up and built to keep up, not hold them back.
