The press launch offered by Peugeot claims an aluminum body, whereas the website says the bike makes use of a carbon body. Based mostly on the pricing, I’m inclined to consider the press launch. The dearth of a Monarch rear shock or a “Ruby Purple” colour additionally leads me to consider there’s an excellent ol’ copy/paste error on the web site.

The subsequent step up within the line is the Peugeot Crossover eT01 D10 Outfitted, which bumps up the ability with a bigger Bosch Performance CX mid-drive motor.

For those who wish to get slightly extra aggressive with their selection of terrain, the Peugeot Crossover eT01 FS provides full suspension with entrance and rear journey of 80 mm.

The usual FS mannequin options the identical Bosch Energetic Line motor and PowerTube 400 Wh battery because the D9 above and is priced at €3,299 (or about $3,800) together with EU VAT.

If you happen to’re searching for full suspension AND the higher-spec motor and battery combo, then the flagship mannequin within the Crossover line is what you’ll need.
