EXPLORER ULTIMATE… these two words perfectly illustrate what this model is. EXPLORER is in a class of its own, ULTIMATE means something best, something ultimate. This is EXPLORER ULTIMATE A combination of the best of everything, all the years of experience, history and heritage that has been created over the years of our work. In order to make this project happen, we had to go back several steps and first redesign the frame for the installation of the ÖHLINS suspension. This change could have been enough for a whole dissertation on how perfect this suspension is, but it wasn’t enough for us. To make things complete we used 27.5″ plus wheels, a Rohloff hub as a gearbox and Saint brakes with custom made Galfer 223mm discs to tame this monster. This whole thing is powered by a 750W motor controlled by a handle or in power steering mode – by a crank. There is nothing more to say.
