"The Bosch Performance Line SX system isn't bulky or overpowering, like some of the absolute generators we see on the latest crop of full-power bikes, which make you feel like a passenger. Instead, it's a lightweight platform designed for responsiveness and efficiency while still giving the feeling of riding a bike."
"Kona wanted to make an eMTB that wouldn't be all about the power numbers, but rather about the freedom and versatility that power unlocks. This is something that I really appreciate in 2026, and it's nice to see that they aren't getting lost in the fog of chasing endless power and torque."
Kona's Remote 160 CR eMTB is designed with a carbon fiber frame and powered by the Bosch Performance Line SX motor. Weighing 45.9lb, it offers 160mm travel front and rear. The bike emphasizes responsiveness and efficiency, prioritizing ride quality over maximum power. With a MSRP of $7,899 USD, it aims to provide versatility and freedom for riders, moving away from the trend of heavy, overpowering eMTBs. The design reflects a commitment to creating a bike that excels in performance and enjoyment.
