The VICTORIA eParcours 12.9 has won the test victory in the Elektrobike 01/2022:
„High-quality components, sporty and comfortable riding characteristics, elegant look: The eParcours is an SUV for off-road touring, thanks to its comfort it’s also great for beginners!“
An all-around success: The new eParcours won the test victory after the first review. The full suspension SUV convinced the reviewers of the annual edition of the Elektrobike both visually and in terms of components and above all riding characteristics.
The test victory is valid for the leisure category, in which a total of 21 e-bikes were represented. With 808 out of (theoretically) 1,000 possible points, it also scored the second-best result of all 56 bikes (whereby the overall winner has just 5 points more, but also costs about twice as much – so what!).
In their description, the editors first take a look at the exterior:
"At first glance, the new eParcours are appealing: Details such as the hidden rear shock in the seat tube, the stem with integrated Smart-Hub bracket and the form-fitting neatly covered battery compartment are real eye-catchers."
The great first impression was then confirmed with the first crank of the pedals:
"With its comfortable seating position, the Victoria is a fun test ride right from the start. Thanks to the dropper post, the position can be adjusted as required, so the SUV bike with its 100 mm suspension is also impressive in light to medium-heavy terrain."
The suspension of the fork and the rear shock has the advantage that you can also ride confidently and safely on field and forest roads. And the longer the ride lasts, the more noticeable it becomes that the damping filters away many small hits from the ground that the body would otherwise have to absorb – lasting riding pleasure until the end of the tour.
The reviewers correctly point out that the eParcours is more of an independent bike type instead of just a mountain bike with a rack screwed on it:
"With its pronounced straight rake and slightly angled handlebar, the bike is more designed for a soft riding style and offers high comfort and safety for all even without a lot of trail experience."
That is what the developers at VICTORIA were thinking!
It goes without saying that the components must also be in tune with a test victory:
"The Bosch drive delivers the usual power and does not let you down on any ascent – this fits perfectly with the ready-to-go reliable character of the eParcours," the reviewers praised.
In addition, they were also impressed with the technical features of the Bosch drive system, as well as the Cobi app, which allows the eParcours to be controlled via a smartphone. The app combines a variety of data from familiar speedometer and navigation device functions. But it is also good that the bike is ready to go without a smartphone.
Conclusion:
"High-quality components, sporty and comfortable riding characteristics, elegant look: The eParcours is an SUV for off-road touring, thanks to its comfort it’s also great for beginners!"
