Key Features:
Advanced Suspension for Ultimate Control
The Kern EL Finest is equipped with Fox 38 Float eMTB+ Factory forks with 170mm travel, ensuring precise handling and comfort on rugged trails. Complementing this is the Fox DHX2 Performance Elite rear shock, delivering 155mm of smooth, consistent suspension, perfect for technical descents and aggressive climbs.

At its core, the bike features the Shimano EP8 motor, offering 85Nm of torque for robust assistance on steep inclines and challenging terrains. This lightweight motor (only 2.6kg) pairs seamlessly with a 630Wh Shimano battery, enabling a range of up to 130 km. Its intelligent power delivery ensures efficiency and rider confidence.
Innovative Mullet Wheel Setup
The Kern EL uses a "mullet" configuration—29” wheels at the front for precise steering and obstacle management, with 27.5” rear wheels providing traction and power transfer. This combination enhances agility and stability for varied terrain.
Enduro-Optimized Geometry
The bike’s geometry and integrated frame design lower the center of gravity, boosting maneuverability and stability. It builds upon Sunn’s competition-proven Kern EN platform, offering a versatile ride that thrives in demanding environments.
