Introducing the Crussis E-Full: A New Player in the E-Bike Market
If the bicycle manufacturer Specialized were to combine their Turbo Levo model with DJI's Avinox motor, the resulting design might bear a strong resemblance to the recently unveiled Crussis E-Full e-bike.
The e-bike landscape has expanded with the arrival of the Crussis E-Full, a new brand from the Czech Republic. This innovative offering shares some resemblance with the well-known Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo but boasts its unique features.
Crussis E-Full: Key Features
- Four price points to choose from, with two battery sizes and two frame materials (6061 alloy and full carbon with an alloy linkage).
- Four frame sizes, with the Small having a reach of 430mm and growing in increments up to 500mm for the XL.
- The head angle of the Crussis E-Full is quoted at 64.5°, and the effective seat angle is 76.6°.
- The Crussis E-Full is equipped with the DJI Avinox motor, offering 1,000W and up to 120Nm of torque, with an 800Wh battery.
- The Crussis E-Full comes with 29in wheels at both ends and features 150mm of rear wheel travel and a 160mm fork up front.
Picking the Perfect Crussis E-Full
My recommended choice from the Crussis E-Full range is the E-Full 12.11, priced at €5,990. This model comes equipped with a Fox 36 fork, Fox Float X shock, SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless drivetrain, SRAM Maven Base brakes, Maxxis tyres, and a Race Face cockpit.
The DJI Avinox Motor: A Powerhouse for E-Bikes
Several major brands, including Crussis, have embraced the DJI Avinox motor, which offers impressive figures, including up to 1,000W peak power, 120Nm torque, and 105Nm continuous torque. This positions it as one of the strongest mid-drive motors currently available for eMTBs.
Comparing the Crussis E-Full with the Specialized Turbo Levo
While both the Crussis E-Full and the Specialized Turbo Levo offer impressive performance, the Crussis E-Full stands out thanks to the DJI Avinox motor's higher peak power and torque, larger battery options, and, in some cases, lighter overall bike weights. However, the Turbo Levo remains a strong contender, especially in terms of ride feel, software integration, and brand heritage.
Other Brands Embracing the DJI Avinox Motor
Several other brands, such as Orange, Olympia, Commençal, Forbidden, Steppenwolf, Unno, Velduro, and DJI itself, have also launched models with the Avinox motor, further solidifying its position as a leading motor technology in the e-bike industry.
Additional Details
- The carbon version of the Crussis E-Full has cable entry ports, while the alloy frame does not.
- Chainstays on the Crussis E-Full are relatively short for a 29er at 446mm.
- The Crussis E-Full's unique feature, the DJI Avinox motor, similar to what other brands like Orange, Olympia, Commençal, Forbidden, Steppenwolf, Unno, Velduro, and DJI itself have adopted, offers a powerful alternative in the world of e-bikes with its impressive 1,000W peak power, 120Nm torque, and 105Nm continuous torque, making it a leading motor technology in the e-bike industry.
- Embracing an active lifestyle doesn't have to mean sacrificing technology as the Crussis E-Full, with its high-tech features like the DJI Avinox motor and advanced components, caters to sports enthusiasts who value both performance and modernity in their rides.
