Moustache Open XRoad 2 EBike 2024
hi everyone I’m Sam from electric bikes Brisbane and I’m really pleased to be able to walk you through the brand new mustache x-road 2 and this is the open frame so we refer to it as the open xroad 2 this has always been a go-to for us for anyone who’s looking for that classic allrounder it is built to cope with the rail trail it’s a very very good commuter but what is really lovely about this bike is all the extra detailing and features that mustache have built into their design or actually built themselves to make the bike more comfortable and it offers you that nice upright riding position if you want to or the ability to be able to flatten it out and make it a little bit more sporty what’s quite different about this bike apart from some of the extra sort of mustache specific um detailing is that it runs on 27 1/2 in Wheels uh in a in an industry which is moving more towards the the big Rolling Wheels like the 29ers this is quite nice to have the exception which really really really suits our smaller riders or those who are looking for a bike which is a little bit more Nimble and not quite so much will in front of you as you riding so let’s step through the features of the bike hailing to the the mustache detailing they’re actually mustache built rims so strong sturdy rims and they have encased a rim in Hutson python tire so this is a classic allrounder tire enough Nobles on there to handle gravel and our Rail triers and a little bit of sort of Adventure riding but smooth enough that it’s going to be nice and comfortable for you as a commuter as well so really very much an allrounder as you can see you’re running suspension on the front as well and this is the uh a sun tour Fork it’s the xcm32 you got 80 Ms of travel here and that just soaks up some of the the lumps and the bumps particularly when you’re out doing things out the rail trail and just keeps you the front end a little bit steadier for you when you are um hitting that rougher stuff as you can see see they’re running two piston brakes and they’ll either be spec with Shimano mt2 200s or a longer brakes so two piston not so big that it’s going to be really really grabby but still plenty of braking power there when you need it nice and safe wet or dry if you look at these lovely mud guards these are also mustache made again one of the big irritations of bikes with uh mud guards is that they Rattle and they catch your tires uh so they decided that they didn’t want to have any of that so they’ve made some beautiful um quite thick and very sturdy mud guard so keep you nice and clean but also just take some of that irritation away if you do uh I traveling with your bike and your mud guards move as well as the mud guards the bike is fully equipped it comes with inbuilt lights you can see you’ve got a nice uh nicely placed light at the front there and you’ve also got a rear light a kickstand of course and a rear rack which I’ll come to in a moment so the xro 2 in the mustache range means it is a 500 w hour battery and this new model is the Smart System model very very similar to the previous version however this one runs on the smart system and this I don’t quite know what it is about the bike but actually rides even a little bit more smoother than the previous version if you’re looking for a lighter version and you really like this x-ray platform particularly with this beautiful deep step through frame the X-ray 2 is a really good option for you um of course there is also the xro 3 which is uh running the biggest 625 hour battery and while that gives you extra range it adds just a little bit of extra weight to the bike as well one of the reasons why this bike rides so beautifully because this is all triple cavity very very strong very stiff so it’s nice and Nimble when you ride it and very very comfortable so a classic long range or a longdistance riding bike so really thinking about touring and and commuting on an everyday basis where you’re going to be comfortable every time you ride your bike couple of extra little features as as well we have a travel cover so this is your battery cover you can remove your battery when you’re traveling and this will protect your battery cavity while you’re traveling don’t forget your keys though if you’re doing it cuz you need your keys to get your battery out and also back in this is where you will remove your battery this is where you put your keys if you um if you are needing to remove your battery be it for charging or for traveling and if you need to charge your battery you can also do this on the bike which is just down here in this little charge port so it has a 5 battery and it runs on the Bosch performance line motor so this is a new motor 75 newon M of Mo of torque now and the new mode which is auto back up in this cockpit this is set up in quite a nice upright position this is its neutral position you can go even higher if you want something a little bit more upright or you can drop it down so it’s a little bit more sporty but it’s a beautiful comfortable handlebar and it’s a it’s a comfort handlebar it’s not super sporty but it gives us a little bit of curve here and you’ve got the ergonomic grips as well so a very comfortable R bike to ride which sits you out nice and Tall but it still gives you that agility and that nimbleness that you might want when you’re doing that more adventurous riding the X Row 2 runs on a nine-speed gearing system and it’s a Shimano gearing system again it’s a system which is not too complex you don’t need to be too technical with your gear changes but there’s enough gears there for things like your Hills your creek crossings and just you know riding on your flat so a good range of Gears without being sort of at the high performance level with the Bosch smart system you get this led remote nice and ergonomically placed so you just change your power levels with your with your thumb and you can scroll through the various screens too while you’re writing you’ve got lots of information just in that led remote and with the xro 2 it also comes with the intuvia 100 display which is placed nice and centrally and you’ve got nice big lettering um with that LCD display so Some people prefer that display because it’s just much more Visual and it’s quite a simple display as I mentioned before you this beautiful deep step through it’s a um a very very easy bike to get on and off and you’ve got plenty of drop with that seat post as well so if you are a smaller Rider or you prefer to have to ride with your the ability to be able to put your feet on the ground when you stop this is a great bike for to do that because you see does go quite low you’ve also got the option to put water bottles here if you want and in a lot of cases we’ll fix a lock here instead depending on what you prefer so in terms of a rear rack this is an mik HD rack so that means it’s uh able to carry up to 27 kilos it’s already preet up to fit the mustache panes which are or leaves and that’s a ql 3.1 system you can just remove these if you want if you want to use the ql 2.1 or Le system quite easy to do but the nice thing about it being an mik system is there’s a host of accessories that you can use with this um lots of bags baskets crates um as well as the paniers if you want to so you can really use it for carrying your shopping carrying your work clothes going touring again just very very versatile overall this is a bike which is built for Comfort reliability and there’s just a heap of fun in there as well because instills confidence in your writing which means you’re going to go out and do a little bit more and then the things that you used to be afraid of when you rode kind of going to melt away a little bit
