Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders wanting the same value hub-drive Ascent spec as the 24 inch model but in a standard adult wheel size.
Standout strength
Same 45Nm motor and hydraulic brakes as the rest of the entry Ascent range, at an identical $1,899 price point.
The main compromise
Cadence sensor assist and a 378Wh battery cap it at about 50km, well short of the mid-drive Ascent X.
