New and updated for 2021 is the Patrol E-Six with the newest Shimano EP8 eMTB motor system!

At Patrol we like to be ahead of the curve with new technologies and the latest components. This is why we were one of the first brands to release a Super Boost compatible enduro bike in 2019 and also why we’re quick of the mark with the new Shimano EP8 motor.

The MY21 Patrol E-Six utilises the all-new Shimano EP8 powerplant with 85Nm of torque and new customisation setting via the updated Shimano E Tube application. Tune your E-Six to offer more range, more performance, or create custom profiles to suit your next adventure.

The new EP8 integrates into the sleek alloy frame of the Patrol E-Six along with our custom-developed 640Wh internal battery pack manufactured by SMP, for ultimate efficiency. 

2021 Patrol E-Six bikes will be available in 2 build options, and no matter which you choose you will get the same 160mm travel 29er alloy frame, the same integrated 640Wh battery and brand new Shimano EP8 motor system.

A Comprehensive Guide to Converting Your Patrol Mountain Bike to Tubeless Bliss

Switching to tubeless tires offers benefits like reduced puncture risk due to internal sealant, lower rolling resistance for a smoother ride, and enhanced traction from running lower pressures without pinch flats. The process involves using tubeless-ready components and following steps to remove existing tires, apply rim tape, and install valves and tires, then adding sealant and inflating. Tubeless conversion results in a lighter, more agile, and responsive ride.

Nailing Sag: A Guide to Setting Up Your Full Suspension Patrol Mountain Bike

Setting proper sag is vital for a Patrol Mountain bike’s performance. A shock pump, tape measure, and assistant are needed for measuring the suspension compression under the rider’s weight.
