The Decathlon Rockrider E-EXPL 700 has been given a stylish makeover with a new purple color option. This hardtail e-bike is an updated version of the original Rockrider E-EXPL 700, which was released earlier this year in select European markets.
Upgraded Features
The new Rockrider E-EXPL 700 retains many of the features that made the original model popular. It is equipped with a Shimano drivetrain, including a Deore 5130 rear derailleur, a Deore LG 11-43 cassette, and an LG500 chain. The drivetrain in the new variant differs from the original model’s Microshift Advent X drivetrain, but both offer the same capabilities.
The e-bike is powered by a Brose Drive T mid-mounted motor, which provides a maximum torque of 70Nm and a top assistance speed of 25km/h. The motor offers maximum assistance of 320% and incorporates a torque sensor for smoother pedaling. The bike is equipped with a 630Wh battery that provides up to 100km of range on a single charge. Additionally, it is compatible with a 360Wh range extender that can add an extra 44km of range.
Impressive Specifications
The Rockrider E-EXPL 700 features a 6061 aluminum frame and is available in four sizes ranging from S to XL. It is equipped with an X-Fusion RC32 29-inch fork, which offers up to 130mm of travel. The e-bike also boasts Tektro M530 hydraulic disc brakes and a long-distance 60-degree saddle for enhanced comfort. Riders can easily monitor their ride statistics and battery status on the bike’s Ergo 900 TFT color display located on the handlebars. The display also allows users to switch between different assistance modes.
