Topping the Explorer range is our 4.0; Shimano 24 speed EZ-Fire Plus transmission offers all the gear ratios you need, no matter the terrain, and coming to a stop is reassuringly powerful and controlled thanks to the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

Introducing the all-new Falcon Zone – a sleek electric hybrid bike that has been designed from the ground up for hassle-free riding in urban environments.
Equipped with a reliable and almost maintenance-free single speed drivetrain to eliminate the need for gear servicing, and benefiting from 5 modes of power assist from the rear hub to drive you along the flats and glide up hill. The slim, lockable battery integrates neatly within the down tube, and added puncture protected tyres with reflective strips on the sidewalls improve reliability and visibility.
The 375wh battery delivers up to 40 miles/64km of range and can be charged from flat in 5 hours either on the bike or when the battery is removed from the bike, meaning no matter where your bike is parked, charging can take place inside. The added security of a key lock for the battery gives you peace of mind when parked up in a public place.
The Zone is powered by the well regarded Bafang rear hub motor system that delivers 32nm of torque, making light work of hills and cruising along flat terrain a breeze. The motor’s 5 power modes can be selected using the sleek and simple handlebar display which also shows the battery level and current speed. Mode 1 is perfect for a little extra assistance while mode 5 is there to really help on the hills. However you choose to use the power assist, you’ll benefit from the reliability of Bafang and the joy of riding an electric bike. We’ve also fitted a walk assist mode that engages the motor to help drive the bike when pushing up steep hills.
For performance and peace of mind, the Zone is equipped with low maintenance cable disc brakes for powerful braking in even the worst of conditions. The contact points of the bike are comfort orientated, with ergonomically shaped lock-on grips and a soft saddle with memory foam padding.
The Zone is equipped with a carefully designed crossbar aluminium frame that is suitable for riders 5’4” to 6’2” (162cm to 188cm).
