The saddle is a Selle Italia Model X W145, which, together with the Kindshock 900I seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm, ensures comfort even on long rides. The drivetrain is powered by a Bosch Performance Line CX motor, which is fed by a Bosch PowerTube battery with a capacity of 625 Wh. The Bosch Purion display offers simple and intuitive control of the e-bike system.

Overall, the Corratec E-Power RS 160 Elite is a well-equipped e-mountain bike that is suitable for both challenging trails and longer tours. The combination of high-quality components and powerful electric assistance makes it an attractive choice for ambitious mountain bikers.
