Patrol's latest full-suspension eMTB rides a full carbon frame
Updated On : Aug 21, 2023
Where previous Patrol eMTBs have rocked either alloy or part carbon/part alloy frames, the front and rear triangles of the E-Seven’s enduro frame are both fashioned from durable and light carbon fiber. This electric bike is equipped with the bare essentials for off-road riding. Attempting to list all the tech features on the G90 would easily double the length of this review. But one of the most notable developments is the introduction of a Digital Key system. It lets you skip carrying around your keyfob — at least if you use an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Samsung smartphone. Set it up and it uses a trio of communications protocols, including Bluetooth, Ultra-Wide Band, and NFC, to talk to the big sedan.
At Genesis we have a history of doing things our own way, whether that’s making bikes we want to ride, or heading in a direction that might seem a little crazy at the time. It's who we are and we embrace that as we share our latest range. The biggest complaint with this bike is that you can’t upgrade much on it. Again, not a problem for the beginner, but for a more experienced rider, this is going to be problematic.
That’s why the majority of new owners reported that their Genesis V2100 was delivered with bent wheels, right out of the box. This may have been done on purpose, to match the out of true Promax disc brake rotor. Speaking of which, be prepared to spend time messing with the drivetrain.
You can even share reviews, comments and questions on mountain bikes. View and compare a huge selection of bikes from brands such as Trek, Specialized, Giant, Santa Cruz, Norco and more. It’s really hard to find a mountain bike with some good features at this price tag.
This product was added to our catalog on Wednesday 15 September, 2021. The Montane Icemen underlined the bikes capabilities as they used a pair of Croix de Fers to circumnavigate the 1600-mile coastline of Iceland in 14 days. Its adventurous credentials were proven in 2010 as Vin Cox set the Guinness World Record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. However if you are like me, and plan on keeping this bike long term, the Boundary is worth the extra money for that peace of mind. Having a slightly better bike that I could upgrade makes all of the difference. My plan was to upgrade the bike as I grew with it, and having this one component being the deciding factor of if the bike would last or not just didn’t give me the confidence I needed.
