FAQS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NEAT AND SLY MODELS?
Both models are very similar in concept, geometry and kinematics, although NEAT is a range focused on maximum lightness with Stealth Air Carbon frames with TQ motor while SLY models feature the latest generation Stealth alloy frame with BOSCH Performance SX light eMTB motor.

WHICH SHOCKS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH SLY?
In addition to the FOX Float X and RockShox Deluxe we use for the different models, it is also compatible with Fox Float series, DPX2, Float X2, DHX, DHX2 coil, RockShox SuperDeluxe Air or Coil as well as Öhlins TTX Air, TTX22. SLY feature metric 185 x 55 mm sized shocks with Trunnion upper mount and bottom 30x8 mm standard hardware.

WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM FORK TRAVEL ON SLY?
SLY is compatible with forks up to 170 mm travel or 590mm axle to crown.

WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM TIRE WIDTH THAT CAN FIT ON SLY?
SLY is compatible with tires up to 63mm wide which translate into 29"x 2.5" tires. It is recommended to measure the tire before installing as the real width might be different depending on the manufacturer.

IS SLY COMPATIBLE WITH 27,5 REAR WHEEL?
You could technically ride a smaller 27,5" rear wheel but the bike has not been designed to ride a mullet setup and the motor would not offer the optimum performance as wheel diameter is altered. The smaller wheel circumference will affect the accuracy of the speed reading and cannot be adjusted. For example, switching to a 27.5 x 2.5" rear wheel and tire combination will reduce cut-off speed by about 1 or 2 km/h. Geometry will be heavily compromised as well and Mondraker does not cover the warranty riding anything different from the stock 29" rear wheel.

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD A BATTERY EXTENDER TO INCREASE THE RANGE AND RIDE LONGER?
Yes, there is a BOSCH POWERMORE 250Wh range extender "water-bottle" mount style. It weighs 1.450 grams or 1.525 grams including Bosch's side-specific mounting bracket and connecting cable. You will enjoy greater +60% longer range compared to the internal 400Wh CompactTube battery.

WHAT IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS I SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN FITTING A POWERMORE?
Bosch offers different sizes of the connecting cable for the PowerMore range extender, you will need the 300mm length. Bosch part number is EB12.120.07C and this is its description: POWERMORE CABLE 300MM (BCH3923_300)

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISASSEMBLE THE INTERNAL BATTERY?
No. The internal battery is integrated and non removable. In case disassembly is required, Bosch's Performance SX motor must be removed first.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY?
The CompactTube 400Wh battery charges up to 50% in 90 minutes, while a full charge takes around 3,5 hours. If you have a PowerMore range extender, it needs to be charged individually separately and takes around 3,2 hours to be fully charged.

ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL DIRECTIONS OR CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE BATTERY?
Nothing special. You can control the remaining battery life at the Purion 400 display on the screen or through the 5 LED bars at the System Controller on the top tube. Each LED equals to 20% range and when any LED turns white means 10% consumption has been reached on any of the remaining bars. When any bar turns off means 20% battery life has been used. When there is 30% battery life remaining the 2 blue leds still on will turn orange. When there's only 10% battery life the only orange LED on will turn red. Even with less than 30% or 10% or less battery remaining motor output will stay constant and not reduced to a lower wattage as it happens on other motor systems.

WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM ASSISTANCE I CAN GET FROM THE SLY BOSCH PERFORMANCE SX MOTOR?
SLY models feature the same Stealth Alloy frame and the same Bosch's Performance SX latest generation motor. The weight of the motor is around 2.050 grams and delivers 55Nm of torque with 600W peak power at high pedaling cadence.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE ASSISTANCE MODES ON THE SLY?
You can customize the Sly's Bosch Performance SX motor assistance modes the same way as other motor systems in Bosch's motor lineup with the Flow App. Log in the Flow App, turn on the bike and connect to your Sly to customize the motor output Support, initial pedaling assistance through Dynamic, maximum kms/h / mph with the 25kms/h / 20mph assistance and 55 max Nm torque individually on the 4 support modes ECO, TOUR+, EMTB and TURBO.

HOW LONG CAN I RIDE WITH THE SLY?
This is always a tricky question and also depends on rider fitness, rider weight and riding conditions. An average rider with 80 kgs riding weight can climb around 1.500m/5.000ft elevation gain combining different support modes and ride as much as 3 hours in ECO-TOUR+ modes. Again, depending on riding conditions and rider physical level. The 250Wh PowerMore range extender would increase +60% riding time with only 1.5 kg extra weight.

RIDING WITH THE POWERMORE RANGE EXTENDER, WHICH BATTERY IS DISCHARGED FIRST, THE INTERNAL ONE OR THE EXTENDER?
To maintain the proper power output from the motor, both batteries discharge at the same time. This is key for proper battery life and constant motor assistance. If you install a PowerMore when you are running out of the internal battery, the PowerMore will be used as the main battery supply until both charges (internal and extender) are equal and then, both will be equally discharged until fully drained.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE DISPLAY ON THE HANDLEBAR?
Yes. It is possible to remove the Purion 400 handlebar display and ride without it. Through the System Controller on top of the frame you can control how much battery is remaining and switch support modes through the Mini-Remote switch on the left side of the handlebar.

WHICH INFORMATION DOES THE SLY's DISPLAY OFFER?
You can find all display and remote manual information following this link from BOSCH: https://www.boschebike.com/en/products/kiox

I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE DETAILS ABOUT BOSCH's PERFORMANCE SX MOTOR, WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION?
Follow this link from BOSCH: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/products/performance-line-sx

WHICH TYPE OF MAINTENANCE OR SAFETY CHECKS DO BOSCH PERFORMANCE SX MOTOR REQUIRE?
Absolutely none. Nor is it required to lubricate any parts in the drive unit nor disassemble it... all you have to do is taking care for it as a traditional mountain bike. It is important to mention, however, as a precaution applicable to any mountain bike: electronic parts and, specifically, the bottom bracket area of the drive unit should never be cleaned with any high-pressure cleaning machine. Therefore, it is not recommended to use high-pressure water jet to clean the cranks axle directly as the electronic parts of the drive unit can be seriously damaged.

HOW MUCH DOES THE SLY FRAME WEIGHT?
Sly frame weighs 4.200 grams in size Medium. Float X shock weighs 515 grams and RockShox Deluxe weighs 365 grams with 30x8mm hardware installed.
