Kona has announced the release of two new long-travel e-MTB's, the Remote 160 DL and Remote X. It's been four years since Kona last announced an e-MTB and to bring the new Remote bikes in line with the best electric mountain bikes Kona has given them a complete redesign.
Both the Remote 160 DL and Remote X follow the same design cues as the recently released third-generation Process to boost the Remote's performance. Suspension kinematics have been updated to improve small bump performance and greater bottom-out resistance. Although both bikes ship with air shocks, they are also coil-shock compatible too. Shorter seat tubes give more standover clearance and are uninterrupted to give deeper post insertion for longer travel dropper post compatibility. Kona also says that the water bottle clearance has been vastly improved too.
