#IRON HORSE BIKE MODELS PRO#
Sure, the SGS DH isn?t cheap, but it’s about two grand less than a competitive pro bike like the Intense M-1. Iron Horse decided to produce a turn-key sport-racing machine that carried a relatively affordable $3500 price tag.
No wonder downhill racing has been slow to catch on. Because of this anomaly, downhillers have had to cobble up downhill bikes from cross-country machines, or purchase an expensive chassis from a custom-frame builder. Paradoxically, the ones who sponsor heavyweight pro teams are the worst offenders. Unless you are a serious downhill racer, you?d probably be better off purchasing a complete bike off the shelf?which is where Iron Horse enters the picture.ĭarn few bike companies offer complete downhill racing bikes. There’s no telling how many different hubs, axle diameters and disc brake combinations there are available. The fork and shock damping and spring rates must be balanced the crankset, chain guide, bottom bracket and cogset must operate with your chosen shifting bits. You must choose every component and each system must be compatible. There’s a great deal of time and effort involved in piecing together a custom machine like the M-1. For one thing, the complete Iron Horse can be purchased for slightly more than the sticker price of the Intense’s frame only. There are, however, compelling reasons that we chose to compare the performance of the cost-is-no-object Intense M1 with an affordable downhill racing machine from our friends at Iron Horse. It would be like putting odds on Woody Allen in a title bout against Evander Hollyfield.

And to make everything super simple, the bike will automatically switch to first gear when it comes to a full stop. The electronic gears are linked to the motor, and switching gears is easy thanks to the small buttons next to the handle. Everything is controlled from the display, where you are able to track speed, gears, and the reach of the battery. The motor delivers 60NM and we guarantee it will give you a fantastic cycling experience. The Shimano system has three settings determining how much the motor is gonna help the driver. Because we believe that the Shimano e-bike system – from the motor, to the gears, to the brakes – are the best solution. The motor is manufactured in Japan, but here we have chosen to compromise on our commitment to sourcing local parts. The motor is a centermotor, which means more stability and greater power. THE PONY comes equipped with what we believe to be the best electric motor on the market: Shimano E6100. We know that steel is solid, because the first bikes we produced in the mid-1990s are still out there making transportation easy for both families and businesses. Our bikes have been produced from precision steel tubes for 25 years and this is not about to change. Every bike has come through the workshop ensuring that everything has been tried and tested before our bikes hit the road.
We will keep producing our bicycles in Denmark. The rear-wheel drive also ensures stability to the bicycle since the front wheels remain stable even with a heavy loaded cargo box – making the kids safe and you feeling good. Controlling the handlebars require minimum effort, which makes it easy – especially for grandparents – to control the bicycle.Ī total width of 85 cm, makes it among the most slender cargo bikes on the market, making it easy to pass other cyclists in traffic and easy to park.
The rear-wheel drive ensures better control than any other bicycle, since the bike can turn around its own axis. The rear-wheel drive is made for urban environments.
