E-SUV S8R Centro with belt drive

  GET READY TO GO PREMIUM: THE E-SUV EXPERIENCE 

Sports Utility Vehicles – or SUVs for short – are finally available for all cycling enthusiasts and e-bike fans! But instead of going around looking for a parking space in a gas-guzzler, the SachsenRAD S8R Centro offers you affordable and green mobility. The e-bike not only looks good in the city center, but also on the way there on any field or forest path. Our SUV expertly bridges the gap between off-road and on-road and could be your perfect new company e-bike.

Everything for the woods, park, and field
Thanks to the hydraulic disc brake from premium manufacturer Magura, wide all-terrain tires from KENDA, and above all, the specially developed, powerful mid-drive motor, the S8R is a top performer. The e-bike's strength lies in tackling difficult paths. Mud, puddles, gravel, roots, or sand are no longer a problem. The frame is more robust than standard city bikes and therefore helps you keep control of the bike when riding over rough terrain. The same applies to the mid-drive motor: The motor position gives you a more familiar riding experience because the drive power is generated exactly where you are used to it by pedaling. You can adjust the stiffness of the sturdy, off-road-capable suspension fork to your preference.

Everything for the city
Back in civilization, the S8R SUV e-bike proves to be a city bike with real presence. A sturdy luggage rack for heavy panniers, LED front and rear lights, and mudguards make you ready for the asphalt. And on neglected bike lanes, cobblestones, and tram tracks in the street, you will appreciate the off-road capability of your SachsenRAD SUV even more.

Lots of power in the XCruise V8 mid-drive motor
The S8R is powered by our new XCruise V8 mid-drive motor. It delivers a massive 85NM of torque and, thanks to its specially developed torque sensor, it precisely registers the force with which you pedal – and adjusts the assistance. For example, if you are riding up a hill and exert more muscle power, the motor provides more assistance. This makes riding up steep terrain easier and prevents you from breaking a sweat as quickly. This technology also saves up to 30% battery capacity, and the pedaling assistance runs much more smoothly and comfortably.

Top brakes from Magura
The Magura MT A2 hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear bring the S8R to a safe stop with precise pressure from the Carbotecture brake levers, even when fully loaded and carrying heavy weight. The brakes were developed with absolute ease of maintenance in mind. Particularly quick pad changes and low wear guarantee you worry-free maintenance and repairs in the future. Even better: You never have to change the Royal Blood mineral oil that comes pre-filled from the factory. And should anything ever happen to the brakes, over 4,000 Magura authorized workshops are available nationwide.

High battery capacity and side mounting
You have never gone this far before - at least not with an e-bike: The generous 720 Wh/20Ah battery takes you on a journey of 60 to 180 kilometers, depending on how much you strain it (depending on riding style, weight, and terrain). The lockable battery's side mounting in the down tube is particularly practical: This prevents the battery from getting caught in the frame. Inserting and removing it is therefore particularly quick.

State-of-the-art drive system

Another highlight is the Gates Carbon R belt drive. It ensures ultra-smooth pedaling, is extremely low-maintenance, and reliable. Enjoy up to 30,000km of worry-free riding: No chain oil to get your nice trousers dirty, no stretching, and no readjusting of a drive chain.

All information in color and at a glance
So that you are always informed about all aspects of your current ride, the S8R is equipped with a robust HD control display. The full-color screen consists of tempered glass with beveled edges and features independent control buttons in an ergonomic design. The display shines with its high brightness and wide viewing angle (IPS-LCD). Special screen adjustment technology ensures excellent readability even in sunlight and outdoors. 

One for everything
Instead of having to make room in the garage or storage room for a mountain bike, a city bike, and a training bike, the S8R SUV e-bike combines all their advantages in one well-thought-out bicycle. With its range, you can commute to work without breaking a sweat even on longer and more difficult routes. And on the weekend, the SachsenRAD invites you to an extended bike tour and a wild ride through nature. The stem can be adjusted in no time, so you can set the handlebar angle perfectly to your riding style.

The S8R is a true all-rounder and your new, dynamically designed city off-roader for sustainable mobility and limitless adventures.
