Strive:ON

Race forged. Trail proven. Pure electric.

Wired for speed

Born from a desire to dominate e-Enduro racing, the original Strive:ON immediately nabbed the E-Enduro World Series title and earned "best in test" awards and rave reviews the world over.

Now the Strive:ON is back—more powerful, more durable, and even more awesome.

Perfectly-balanced handling

The Strive:ON delivers a potent blend of power, range and race-ready performance. Stable at speed yet lively and playful, this bike boasts perfectly balanced handling that turns any trail into a rollercoaster ride.

End to end performance

More stiffness doesn't translate to more speed. Engineered compliance in the seatstay and chainstay helps tune out trail chatter and increase rear wheel traction, while a stiffer front triangle ups rider confidence and front end trust when riding at race pace.

Mullet wheels

For traction, control and stability, there’s only one wheel size that’ll do when it comes to E-Enduro. And that’s both. In every test, we found mullet to be the optimal set-up for hard riding without compromising stability.

Composure:on point

The Strive:ON is smooth and stable at warp speed thanks to a 170 mm fork partnered up with 160 mm of rear travel. This combination hits the mark for enduro duties and mates perfectly with the roomy reach and slack 63.5 degree head tube angle.

Clean climbing

Slay the steepest ramps and clean the most technical climbs. The 78 degree seat tube angle and 445 mm chainstay keeps rider weight centred uphill. And with a slightly higher BB you’re less likely to have troublesome/missed pedal strikes.

Rapidly reliable

The Strive:ON CFR is designed with input from our world class racers and team mechanics. We’ve taken inspiration from the brutally challenging realm of enduro motocross and married durability and reliability with on-frame innovations. So you can wrench less and ride more.

Bump and slide

Think of the redesigned Strive:ON skid plate as a layer of armor. Even stronger than before, it protects your motor, chainring, and dignity in cases when you mistakenly power wheelie into big rocks and roots.

Silent frame protection

We developed robust frame protectors with our EWS mechanics to shield your bike from the worst racing has to throw at it. They also happen to dampen the sounds of chain slap, rock impacts and trail chatter to keep your head in the game.

Ride more. Wrench less.

The Strive:ON features hassle-free, thru-frame cable routing, an improved charge port cover with even better sealing from the elements, and replaceable thread inserts that reduce your risk of damaging the frame if you get over-zealous when tightening bolts.

Storage without the strap

Two mounting bosses under the top tube provide a fixing point for our frame storage bag. Carry all your enduro essentials without a strap marring your paintwork.

Complete control

K.I.S. stands for “Keep It Stable” and that’s exactly what this innovative feature does. The mechanical steering stabiliser actively centres your bars, helping you hold ludicrous lines through off-camber sections and preventing front wheel washouts.

Pro inspired. Competition proven.

Marking more than 10 years of working with MTB legend Fabien Barel, our flagship Strive:ON CFR features dream level spec created in collaboration with one of the sport's all-time greats. Just like the rider, the Strive:ON CFR takes an obsessive approach to performance and is equipped with the competition optimised Bosch CX Race motor.

Which E-MTB is right for you?

The Strive:ON is a race-bred E-Enduro machine that's also an absolute ripper of a full-power trail bike. Strive:ON occupies a middle ground between the snappy, trail-focused Spectral:ON and the big-hit performance of the freeride-oriented Torque:ON.
