Proof that life goes on outside the DJI Avinox bubble takes the form of the new Propain Shresh SL. A lightweight, mid-power enduro/all-mountain e-bike with the latest TQ HPR60 motor. Following hot on the heels of the mega-bucks Yeti MTe, this new Propain Shresh SL offers a similar package on paper, at a much more palatable price. But can it match the Yeti’s seductive packaging and magical ride quality? Let’s dive in. The Shresh isn’t a new model, per se. Propain already offered the Shresh powered by a Shimano EP801 or EP600 drive unit at a similar weight and travel and with either 29in wheels front and rear or an MX set-up. But the Shresh SL isn’t some Frankenbike conversion – it’s a ground-up redesign built to maximise the strengths of the diminutive TQ system. – Short of time? Click here to skip to the verdict – Can it go toe-to-toe with the best electric mountain bikes, like the game-changing Amflow PL Carbon? Let’s dive in and take a look. Propain Shresh SL need to know All-mountain/enduro bike with the new TQ HPR60 motor Peak torque is 60Nm and peak power is 350W with max 200% assistance 150mm travel paired with 160mm fork and MX 580Wh internal battery is removable – options for 160Wh range extender or 360Wh internal battery New colour display and upgraded app with customisable modes Full carbon frame and twin link PRO10 suspension Flip-chip geo adjustment can also be used to compensate for 27.5in rear wheel Room for a water bottle or range extender Weighs 20.89kg in size large Four frame sizes (from S to XL) and ?? build options with prices starting at £5,994 and going to £10,499 Five build kits, and customisable specs include Trickstuff brakes and Ohlins suspension Frame Unmistakably a Propain thanks to its twin-link PRO10 suspension design centred around the seat tube, the Shresh SL does make some important deviations from its Shimano-powered predecessor. Firstly the harmonic pin-ring design means the e-machine and the gearbox are concentric, so the TQ HPR60 motor takes up a lot less space than the Shimano unit, and the Shresh SL looks almost indistinguishable from a conventional bike as a result. That opens up possibilities for the Propain engineers when it comes to packaging. One big advantage being that the battery is still removable, but it now slides into a fully enclosed down tube rather than dropping out of a massive cut-out in the underside. This has benefits in terms of strength, stiffness, and weight, so Propain can use less material to achieve the same numbers in the testing lab, without compromising on convenience when it comes to battery charging. Another upgrade, albeit a minor one, is the re-introduction of cable ports at the head tube. There is still the option to re-route the cables through the Acros headset if you’re mad/have OCD, but now the bike comes shipped with much more mechanic-friendly separate ports. The Blend full carbon frame is available in four sizes, from …Continue reading »
