Specs

"With the Ekano, the Allgäu based company delivers an enduro with the finest possible parts. Huge suspension travel for every epic downhill trail."
"Fast and natural trails are the Ekanos favorite playground."

Smart Details

Good looks are not everything. Our Ekano also impresses with its inner values and smart details. With quick-change chain guard, durable bearings and internal cable routing, you’ll get more time on the bike than in your garage

Clean & Modern

Many small details make our Ekano a real eye-catcher. The tidy cockpit not only ensures clarity and ease of use, the newly developed Ekano logo also shows the direction: always forward!

Chainstay and motor protection

To protect the motor and down tube against stone hits, and to protect your frame against damage to the paintwork caused by the chain jumping, your Ekano comes with our motor and chain stay protection as standard. The optimised chain stay protection absorbs vibrations of the chain and protects the stay from damage. The down tube and motor are optimally protected by a cover against damage and dirt.

Internal Cable Routing

Internal cable routing became a standard for modern bikes. It is the smartest, safest and, above all, the cleanest way to route the cables. For the perfect look you can choose from three different head tube badges.

Highlights

Whether it’s an adventurous tour or action in the bike park – your Ekano offers you the performance you need in any terrain.

The adjustable seatpost is probably one of the most ingenious inventions of recent years. In order to function optimally on the trail, the proper seatpost travel is very important. The following chart shows the recommended minimum inseam for the corresponding frame size. Please keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, as the respective sitting position depends very much on personal habits and preferences.

A geometry that works well on downhill as well as on demanding and long uphill sections is key for an E-Mountain Bike. The Ekano manages this balancing act with ease by the combination of a steep seat angle, moderately long reach and chain stays and a flat head angle. These characteristics paired with the powerful support of the Shimano EP8 drive unit ensure an agile handling on the trails and an overall new riding experience.
