BOLOGNA, Italy — The Ducati is a famous Italian brand. The Ducati Powerstage RR Limited Edition E-Mountain Bike is the brand’s latest first-ever model designed by the company to offer trail riders alike with a rugged yet powerful option to select.
Ducati is identified with high quality motorcycles. The fire-breathing brand has hit the air-waves again, this time, with a Powerstage PR Limited Edition, the first carbon-framed electric Mountain Bike.
Despite manufacturing motorcycles, Ducati has continued to steadily grow its scope of products. The high-end mountain electric bikes constitute this expansion over the last couple of years. The Powerstage PR Limited Edition is the latest model to be created. The mountain e-bike is modified with a carbon fiber frame frame meant to elevate rigidity devoid of increasing its total weight. The chassis is modelled with Öhlins RXF38 m.2 air fork and TTX shocks to give room for tremendous travel support. The built-in Shimano battery model of 630Wh is meant to pump out close to 62.7ft.Ib of torque. The battery powers the 250W EP801 e-MTB.
This model is limited to only 230 numbered examples on a global platform and can be currently acquired through the brand’s web of dealerships worldwide for 11990 US Dollars. The Ducati Powerstage RR Limited Edition E-Mountain Bike, e-nduro model is created categorically to withstand the most rugged off road conditions.
“Power for the e-bike is derived from a new Shimano EP801 drive unit, delivering 250 watts of nominal power and 85 Nm of torque. There two preconfigured assistance profiles: “long ride” to favor autonomy on long tours and “fast ride” for sustained performance on shorter rides. “The removable 630Wh Shimano battery is positioned inside the ‘verticalized’ downtube in order to lower the center of gravity, improving the balance of the bike,” said a company statement.
“Other specifications for the Powerstage RR include the SRAM GX AXS 12-speed wireless rear electronic shifting, for more precise gearshifts, and Braking First brakes with customized Ducati Corse levers. For wheels, the machine is fitted with Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels with differentiated format (29” front, 27.5” rear) with variable thickness carbon rims help to further improve steering precision and lower weight. The tires are Pirelli Scorpion Enduro S on the front and Pirelli Scorpion EMTB-S on the rear to offer maximum grip and adherence,” added Ducati company statement.
“Ducati’s pedal assisted bicycle project took shape with the launch of the MIG-RR, the first e-mtb produced in collaboration with Thok E-Bikes. Today, with the new Powerstage RR, Ducati strengthens its presence in the premium-range e-mountain bike segment, aimed at even more demanding riders,” said Giorgio Favaretto, of e-Bicycle Business for Ducati.
