Over the years NS have tested a lot of e-bikes but there was never any bike that truly stole their team’s heart. It took them a while to figure out what kind of bike they want to make for NS. The NS Bikes E-Fine1 (RF Aeffect) eMTB is what they came out with.Key Features:NS Bikes E-fine AL frameRock Shox 35 GOLD Fork offers 160mm of plush suspension travelX-FUSION H3C Shock Controls the 150mm of rear wheel travelShimano Deore brakes give you the stopping power no matter the weatherShimano Deore11 speed drivetrain for slick shiftingSizes: S, M, LColours: BlackThe NS Bikes E-Fine 2 (MZ Bomber) is available with 0% APR financeDrive Information:Motor: Shimano Steps E8000 systemBattery: 504WH Integrated Shiman batteryThey asked themselves what makes an e-bike great? Well, if we put the motor aside for a moment, it all comes down to the bike’s geometry and suspension, and these are the main points that NS focused on. They looked for a geometry that works best on a motor assisted bike – and it’s not necessarily the same as on their “analogue” products. The geometry must be complemented by suspension that works perfectly on a bike that is inherently heavier than a normal MTB, and the tires, brakes and cockpit all need to have more of a “moto” character.Back to the motor: there are no “bad” drive units on the market these days. What NS think is critical for the customer is reliability and easily accessible service if something goes wrong. That’s why they chose to work with the Shimano. NS and Shimano brands share similar values and Shimano offers excellent customer service around the globe.Everyone loved the new EP8 motor from Shimano. It kicks in seamlessly and its weight and size has been reduced significantly. It’s almost 400g lighter than its predecessor, the e8000. The second important feature is that Shimano cut drag by 50%. It’s now almost comparable to a muscle powered drivetrain.One of the key things they noticed is that the NS crew doesn’t dig wimpy rides. So, NS made sure that the e-fine is a big, burly machine. It’s fitted with the excellent Zeb fork with massive 38mm stanchions and 170mm of travel, powerful brakes and aggressive tires.Other essential features of the drive unit include improved ground clearance, low Q-factor and new short cranks (160mm). All this means that they could make the bb really low without fear of pedal strikes. Just in case, NS included an option to adjust the height of the bb to suit personal preferences).So, have NS succeeded in making an e-bike that all the people in their team would love? Well, even the most die-hard dirt jumpers in their company are lining up to borrow a prototype for a weekend of shredding, which is something that NS haven’t seen with other e-bikes that have been laying around the office. Their team riders love the e-fine, our close friends who would never consider going electric are changing their minds. Honestly, NS believe they have achieved their goal.All Tredz bikes are:Fully built & ready to rideFully checked & tested by Cytech qualified mechanicsAvailable with 0% APR finance on any basket over £99UK price match promise365 day no hassle returnsFree delivery in the UK Mainland on a date that suits youIn the box with every Tredz bike is:Free Tredz 9 key trail toolFree Tredz pedal spannerFree basic pedalsTredz drawstring kit bag16 point quality control check sheetBasic bike setup instructionsFree Cycle Plan insurance voucher
