ROSSIGNOL 2022 RANGE INCLUDES TRAIL E-BIKE OPTIONS
Consumer-direct brand Rossignol recently announced its 2022 mountain bike lineup and it includes an e-bike model. The Mandate Shift is the brand’s electric-assist (e-bike) version of the Mandate trail bike. Rossignol have only been making e-bikes since 2018 and are perhaps more associated with skiing equipment.
Rossignol describe it as ‘Featuring…. Shimano Steps motors, both the brand new EP8 and stalwart E7000…., the Shift is available with three different build options and price points.’
The three Mandate Shift options are named after the different Shimano drivetrains each uses:
XT Steps EP8 mid-drive (torque rating 85Nm), 630Wh battery, $ / € 6,399
DEORE 12 Steps EP8 mid-drive (torque rating 85Nm), 630Wh battery $ / € 5,399
DEORE 11 Steps E7000 motor (torque rating 60Nm), 504Wh battery. $ / € 4,399
Apparently, Rossignol plan to establish an extensive network of test bikes throughout Europe via bike rental partners. That way, those who are interested can simply test ride a bike of their choice before buying.
