AtomX

e-mtb
01

Origin

The AtomX was BH's statement that an e-MTB doesn't have to look like an e-MTB. When it launched, most competitors wore their motors and batteries visibly; BH's Ballistic Carbon HCIM frame buries the 720 Wh battery and Brose S Mag motor inside a frame that reads as a conventional full-suspension carbon bike until you look closely. The X-System design language — clean lines, integrated wiring, hidden details — was a deliberate design brief to appeal to riders who wanted motor assistance without the e-bike aesthetic.

The verdict

+Strengths
  • 90 Nm Brose motor and 720 Wh battery is a powerful, long-range combination
  • HCIM Ballistic Carbon frame at 2,350 g is light for an e-enduro bike
  • Clean X-System design hides electronics behind genuinely premium carbon aesthetics
Weaknesses
