Review: Mark 2 Scrambler CX - smooth performance & practical equipment but lacks heavy duty mid-drive power cycling mark2ebikes
The upside of the extra weight is of course that the full equipment means you can ride in all conditions and carry a decent amount with you. The Scrambler CX has a maximum carrying rating of 120kg - that's rider and cargo. Initial impressions are of a smooth and quiet torque sensing system that pushes you along nicely on the flat and up moderate hills. Steeper hills, including our 0.
Range was pretty good, suggesting it's quite an efficient system, which you would expect given it's lack of raw power. The test rider managed 36 miles from the 375Wh battery - almost 10Wh per mile is certainly efficient, especially given the hilly testing ground of the Pennines' Calder Valley. The Scrambler CX performed pretty well on moderately hilly trails, though the lack of low speed torque and really soft front suspension would preclude hardcore off-road riding - but that's clearly not its design brief. The tyres provided excellent traction whilst cornering quickly both on and off-road, on the mix of canal towpaths and well-made bridleways it was tested on.The Scrambler CX comes in a shade under £3,000 .
