Pivot E-Vault Pro 700c - GRX Di2 - Glacial Green Metallic - 2021

The Pivot E-Vault Pro 700c - GRX Di2 - Glacial Green Metallic - 2021 is a top-tier, versatile e-bike designed to excel in both urban environments and on more rugged terrain. Here's a detailed breakdown of its features and specifications:

Design and Frame

• Frame Material: The E-Vault is crafted from high-quality carbon using Pivot's proprietary Hollow Core internal molding technology. This ensures an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio, delivering a lightweight yet incredibly strong frame.
• Geometry: Designed with next-generation gravel/road geometry, the E-Vault offers all-day comfort on various surfaces, whether you're commuting through city streets or venturing onto gravel paths.
• ISO-FLEX Technology: This patent-pending feature isolates the seatpost from the frame, enhancing comfort without compromising stiffness and control. This results in a smooth, responsive ride that absorbs vibrations and rough terrain with ease.
• Integrated Fender Mounts: Hidden mounts allow for sleek and clean accommodation of fenders, making the E-Vault a practical choice for all-weather riding and commuting.

Motor and Battery

• Fazua Evation Drive Unit: The E-Vault features the lightest and most compact Fazua Evation drive unit, providing 252 Watt/hours of pedal assist. This motor is designed for discreet integration into the bike's chassis, maintaining a clean and unobtrusive look.
• Decoupling Mechanism: When not engaged, the motor completely decouples from the bottom bracket, allowing for smooth pedaling without resistance. This is a significant advantage over other e-assist motors that remain engaged, making the E-Vault feel like a regular bike when you’re not using the power assist.
• Battery: The lightweight Fazua battery is seamlessly integrated into the frame, maintaining the bike’s sleek design. Additional batteries and custom on-the-bike battery bags are available, enabling riders to extend their range with ease.
