Flyer Uproc EVO:X

This upgrade arouses curiosity: For the first time, Flyer aims to appeal primarily to sporty e-bikers with the new Uproc Evo:X, doing away with Sunday-rider frills: No option for side stand mounting or mudguards, no side-removable battery, everything is trimmed and optimized for a powerful e-bike.

We were therefore happy to accept the invitation from the Swiss premium manufacturer to the product launch in the Upper Engadin, to get a first impression of the newcomer and possibly to find an answer to the question: Can Flyer make a name for itself in the sport-oriented e-MTB scene with the new enduro flagship?

The base is a four-bar linkage made entirely of high-strength carbon – except for the link at the shock – with 165 mm of travel, complemented at the front with 170-mm forks. Flyer itself describes the rear suspension as progressive and also highlights the low center of gravity of the E-Enduro. Both are supposed to help the Evo:X achieve fantastic riding characteristics.
The same, namely a balanced handling, is expected from the Mullet setup, which was adopted from the Uproc 6. Thus, the Evo:X also has mixed wheel sizes, with a 29" front and a 27.5" rear, which should improve handling and control over various types of terrain.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning: At Flyer, the availability and service of spare parts are given high importance. For example, individual screws and bearings of the rear suspension, which by the way are all from Acros, are offered through specialist dealers. So, if a single part needs to be replaced, there is no need to purchase a whole set of screws and bearings.

Geometry Flyer Uproc Evo:X High Position

Sure, here's the translated table from German to English:```

Geometry Flyer Uproc Evo:X Low Position

Compared to the aforementioned and well-known Uproc 6, the steering angle has been flattened by half a degree to 64.5°, the effective seat angle remained approximately the same, ditto the reach (461 mm in size M). The chainstays are significantly shorter than on the Panasonic-powered E-SUV (443 instead of 460 mm in size M).
If the bike is too playful and agile for someone, they can change the setup from "High-Position" to "Low-Position" with a flatter steering and seat angle (each by -0.5°) and a lower center of gravity (7 mm additional bottom bracket drop) using a flip-chip.

By the way, the bike, which comes equipped with a Fidlock bottle including holder, will be available in four sizes (S-XL). For sizes S to L, the maximum bottle size is limited to 450 ml. On longer tours on sunny summer days, this represents no more than a drop in the ocean. So it won't work without a backpack or hip bag.

The Flyer Uproc Evo:X is available in four different equipment variants and two colors, namely Curcuma Gloss and Black Metallic Gloss. It is worth mentioning that at Flyer, color and equipment are not linked. Thus, you can buy any variant in either of the two colors. Other manufacturers can take a leaf out of their book!

The four models in the price range from 7,399 to 12,499 euros differ in gears, motor, battery, suspension, brakes, handlebars, wheels, and seat post.
Particularly noticeable is the smaller battery in the entry-level model 4.10. This one is equipped with a Bosch PowerTube 625 Wh battery – so it's a bit pared down. Similarly, the more affordable model has a RockShox suspension, while the other three variants come with a complete Fox setup.
The outliers on the high end are the electronic shifting and seat post of the top model 9.50. Moreover, because the Uproc Evo:X 9.50 will be equipped with the new Bosch Smart System Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition motor.

The Flyer Uproc Evo:X is robust, reliable, and incredibly fun to ride. Combined with the grippy Onza tires, the E-Enduro is a real climbing mountain goat. It sweeps over uphill trails that would never be manageable with a regular MTB. The massive 750 Wh battery provides enough energy to keep the powerful Bosch motor juiced up.
A 170-mm bike should naturally also impress on the descent – and it does. Downhill (and generally), the imposing Evo:X conveys a high level of safety without losing its agility and playfulness.
I personally find the new approach of making no compromises with this model very appealing as a sportive E-biker!

Geometry Flyer Goroc TR:X

Further shown, but not test ridden by us during the press launch, was a new versatile adventurer: the Goroc TR:X.
Whether for multi-day exploration trips to remote places or in the middle of city traffic – the carbon full-suspension bike, fully equipped with lights, fenders, luggage rack, and stand, is designed to handle and endure everything.

A special highlight is the low-maintenance Pinion MGU, a new drive unit that combines the innovative geared motor with an (optionally automatic) 12-speed gearshift and a belt drive.
