    Ocelot 125, powerful and lightweight, the most natural eMTB.

    ocelot 125

    Fast trail bike, suitable for gnarly terrain with just the right amount of perfectly tuned travel.

    Ocelot 125 eMTB, lightweight, full power e-mountain bike, Maxon Air S motor

    160 / 125 mm of travel

    That is all you need for fast trail riding. Welcome in the world of endless grip and silky smooth rides.

    Ocelot 125 eMTB, 16.4kg, full power e-mountain bike, with PUMA suspension and 125mm travel

    starting at 16.4kg

    If you choose lightweight components, you can get to 16.4kg for a full bike. If you tune the bike into a capable trail bike with alloy wheels, you end up around 18.8kg.

    the most natural

    The brand new maxon AIR S drive unit feels like you ride an analogue bike. But gives you up to 4 times more power. In silence.

    efficient and reliable

    maxon’s drives are used in robots, vehicles, and devices all over the world – and even in the Mars NASA rover Perseverance.

    powerful drive

    90Nm of torque, a maximum output of 620W and only 2kg. Every climb feels like great fun.

    integrated battery

    A 400Wh lithium-ion battery of only 1.8kg is integrated in the down tube. With an impressive drive efficiency of 83% this is plenty for great epic rides.

    long rides

    Take a 250Wh range extender or the 6A fast charger to extend your rides.

    extremely smooth

    We brought our patented PUMA suspension to the Ocelot and even managed to improve it at some points.

    endless amount of grip

    Thanks to our multilink design we could tweak the leverage ratio independently from other kinematic factors. Something other brands can only dream of.

    LLU MAX bearings

    All bearings in the Ocelot are high-end extra wide Enduro bearings, with grade 10 balls and full-contact, double-lip, labyrinth seals.

    no rattling

    Cable routing is completely guided for noiseless riding and easy maintenance. And no, no headset cable routing.

    protectors

    The rubber motor cover is built to handle hard impacts and to keep dirt and dust out of the frame.

    geometry

    Slack, long and fully focused on giving you maximum confidence.

    kinematics

    progressive

    We have given the Ocelot a progressive character. How progressive a bike is depends primarily on the regression of the leverage ratio combined with the progressiveness of the air shock.

    The leverage ratio decreases during the travel. This way the suspension is supple and sensitive around sag, yet big hit capable. Plush with little risk of bottoming out.

    efficient

    The PUMA suspension on the Ocelot gives an anti-squat value that is more or less the same in all gears. At sag the Ocelot 125 has an anti-squat value of 115% in the granny gear and 108% in the most heavy gear. This compensates for 100% of pedal bob induced by the pedal torque and some extra to account for your body movement on the bike.

    Anti-squat values come down throughout the bikes’ travel to create less pedal pop deeper in the travel. In normal language this means that the platform is efficient in all gears during a climb or sprint, yet very lively when going downhill.

    fully active

    The Ocelot 125 benefits from little pedal kickback. Especially at high speed, in heavier gears kickback is negligible.

    This means the suspension remains fully active and sensitive during quick descends, even when pedaling.

    sensitive

    When you brake, the center of gravity shifts forward causing the fork to compress and the rear suspension to extend or compress, depending on the anti-rise value.

    The Ocelot 125 has anti-rise levels between 84 - 99% throughout the bikes’ suspension travel. In effect this stops you and the bike from tilting forward under hard braking. At the same time levels around 100% allow the suspension to remain active and sensitive throughout your braking zone.

    smooth

    The Ocelot has a near vertical axle-path during the first half of the travel. This is the part of the suspension travel that you use most during very fast sections.

    When the vectors from trail obstacles and the wheel path are more in line this results in the suspension being compressed rather than the bike being ‘held back’. You will feel this as smoothness of the suspension.

    size

    If you doubt between two sizes, then consider that a larger size frame will be more stable. A larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security but it will require more effort to ride a manual or wheelie.

    If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, then you are better of choosing the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.

    body height

    Stand straight with your back against a wall and place a book on your head. Make a mark on the wall with tape and measure the distance between the bottom of the book and the floor.

    leg length

    Stand straight up with your back against a wall with a book between your legs. Pull up the book, simulating the pressure of sitting on a bike saddle. Make a mark on the wall with tape and measure the distance between the top of the book and the ground.
