A New Player in the Fat-Tire Sector
At the core of each Forest Summit e-bike lies the powerful Bafang M620 Ultra mid-drive motor, supported by a high-capacity UL-certified lithium-ion battery. This formidable combination guarantees riders the ability to conquer steep inclines and rugged terrain effortlessly. With 750W of nominal power, surging to a peak of 1500W, the industry-trusted Bafang motor is always pushing the limits, offering unmatched power and performance.
Say goodbye to range anxiety with the Forest Summit's high-capacity lithium-ion battery, providing over 1000 watt-hours of power on a single charge. Extended rides become the norm, allowing you to delve deeper into your adventures without worrying about running out of battery far from home.
High-End Components
Complementing a great motor and battery combination is always a surefire way to increase the value of any electric bike. Often companies will try to wow you with claims about the most power or range while forgetting to put any thought into the rest of the bike. Having a weak or cheap set of components can hinder the day-to-day use of the bike, as well as the longevity of your investment.
The Forest Summit doesn't just excel in power; it leads with premium features. Enjoy the control and safety of 4-piston hydraulic brakes, the precision of a Shimano 10-speed gearbox, and the comfort of an air fork suspension. Each component is meticulously chosen to enhance the riding experience, blending peak power with premium performance.
Forest Bikes prioritizes durability and aesthetics, ensuring their aluminum frames are designed to withstand the toughest trails. With Tektro Orion 745 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes providing strong stopping power in all conditions, riders can feel confident tackling any terrain.
Anyone who follows this site regularly knows that hydraulic brakes are a must-have for me and I will not review any bike that only has mechanical brakes. Safety is of paramount importance when riding heavier electric bikes at high speeds. Braking power, especially 4-piston brakes such as the ones that come on these bikes, adds even more peace of mind.
