Test: The Scott Strike eRide is, so to speak, the touring counterpart to the sporty Genius eRide. However, it comes with almost as much spring travel and a geometry that has only been defused by add-on parts. With its high-quality frame and the TwinLoc system, it also has some of the great strengths of current Scott E-MTBs.

At first glance, you could confuse the Scott Strike eRide with the Genius eRide from the same company - the two bikes are similar in terms of their design and there are no worlds in between when it comes to suspension travel: With 140mm at the front and rear, the Strike is hardly less. In practice, however, the two wheels are worlds apart; But the fact that the Strike, like its sporty counterpart, is a very good E-MTB is due to its careful alignment with its target group.
The geometry of the Strike alone makes it clear for which area of application the E-MTB, which has been available since 2018, is tailored. The frame puts its rider in a fairly upright position - you sit up rather than on the bike. This gives you a good overview from a comfortable position and you can tackle longer tours without any problems.

Variable chassis thanks to TwinLoc
This impression is also reflected in the chassis: the rear end in particular works very sensitively and enables comfortable gliding even at a leisurely pace. The TwinLoc system, a Scott specialty, is also on board the Strike. The characteristics and spring travel of the rear triangle and suspension fork can be adjusted simultaneously using a thumb lever on the handlebars. In the slightly tighter middle position, the Strike is given a shot more sportiness and if you want, you can also completely immobilize the chassis with a lockout. In practice, we used this option less on the Strike, especially compared to its sporty sister models. For us, the plush basic set-up in the open position suits the character of the bike very well.

Unexcited handling
The Bosch CX motor, powered by a 625Wh battery, purrs like a (unfortunately quite loud) kitten and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of support power or naturalness. He is also partly responsible for the above-average climbing performance of the Scott tourer. Quite steep seat tube angle, long chain stays, fits! This means that the bike can be pedaled well while seated, even on steep sections. However, the front is a bit too high for really technical passages and the Maxxis Rekon tire on the rear wheel has too little grip.
This relaxed, good-natured handling is also evident on the descents, where the Strike does a good job – as long as it doesn't get too rough. On tamer trails and at an appropriate speed, the inexpensive Fox suspension elements do a decent job and the somewhat slender 34 Float fork at the front is stiff enough. If the beats become stronger and the speed increases, the wheel is suddenly pushed to its limits. The rear end then lacks counter pressure and the somewhat spongy fork seems overwhelmed. The Shimano 4-piston brakes, on the other hand, are impressive, as they maintain their braking power even during longer descents.
