Electric bicycles (e-bikes) are emerging as a significant player, reshaping how we think about mobility. A striking example of this trend is the entrance of MV Agusta, a renowned Italian motorcycle brand, into the e-bike market with its latest offering, the Cortina Edizione Limitata.
The sleek aluminum tube adds to the bike’s overall appeal
MV Agusta is no stranger to the e-bike scene, thanks to its dedicated sub-brand, E-MV Agusta. However, the Cortina Edizione Limitata stands out in their line-up. Unlike its performance-focused siblings, this model is a lightweight commuter e-bike that combines practicality with an artistic flair.
The Cortina’s design is a blend of functionality and elegance. Its frame, made from aluminum and carbon fiber, not only ensures durability but also accommodates various rider sizes and cargo needs. The aluminum tubing is sleek, adding to the bike’s overall aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the carbon fiber front fork contributes to its light weight and precise handling.
Powering the Cortina is the Mahle X35 motor, a compact and efficient unit. This motor, integrated into the rear hub, offers a perfect balance between size and performance. It delivers 250 watts of power and 40 newton-meters of torque, making the ride smooth and enjoyable. The bike’s battery is cleverly concealed within the motor’s housing, offering up to 75 kilometers of assistance per charge.
The bike’s weight, just 15.3 kilograms, is impressive. This feat is achieved through the use of lightweight materials and a compact powertrain. The bike is equipped with a 10-speed Shimano drivetrain and Magura MT4 disc brakes, ensuring reliable performance. The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H tires are perfect for varied terrains and weather conditions.
Notably, the Cortina doesn’t just focus on performance; it also boasts high-quality components like Ritchey leather grips and saddle, and a CNC-milled stem and seatpost. Priced at around 3,800 euros ($4,100), it represents a significant investment in sustainable and stylish urban mobility.
