Audi has introduced the second-generation electric-assist mountain bike (eMTB) 2.0, an enduro-style electric pedal-assist mountain bike powered by Fantic, now available via Audi Genuine Accessories. The new eMTB is not only better than ever, but less expensive with an MSRP of just $5,850.

The second-generation mountain bike from Audi benefits from upgraded SRAM GX Eagle Transmission AXS electronic rear derailleur, SRAM XX SL Eagle 12-speed 10-52T rear cassette and upgraded EPTA STAGE brake rotors measuring 220mm (front) and 203mm (rear).

The Audi eMTB 2.0, developed with Italian e-bike maker Fantic, features a lightweight aluminum frame for a relaxed riding position and a mixed wheel setup (29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear) that balances rollover capability with agile cornering.

Thanks to its full-suspension design, e-bike-specific Mavic tubeless-ready wheels, and Vittoria e-bike-rated off-road tires, it’s perfectly at home on a variety of terrain from bike paths and touring, to challenging off-road tracks. Outfitted with top-shelf, fully adjustable suspension components and featuring 180mm of travel, the Audi eMTB 2.0 distinguishes itself with a coil-sprung Öhlins TTX22m.2 rear shock, and an air-sprung Öhlins RXF38 m.2 fork. Shifting duties for the 1×12 drivetrain are now handled by SRAM’s GX Eagle Transmission AXS electronic rear derailleur and bar-mounted POD shifter, working across an SRAM XX SL Eagle 12-speed 10-52T rear cassette. Stopping power is provided by Sunstar Braking’s F.I.R.S.T. calipers and new EPTA STAGE rotors (220/203mm F/R).

The Audi eMTB 2.0 offers four assist modes—Eco, Tour, Sport, and Boost—supporting speeds up to 20 mph with a battery range of 12–90 miles, depending on conditions. Boost mode provides maximum power for steep climbs, while Eco prioritizes efficiency and range.

The new mountain bike features a fully integrated 720-Wh, 36-volt lithium-ion battery pack powering a Brose S-MAG 250W motor with up to 90 Nm of torque. A handlebar display shows assist mode, battery status, and speed, with a low-battery warning below 10 percent.

Audi draws on its off-road heritage, showcasing the eMTB 2.0 with a livery inspired by the Dakar-winning RS Q e-tron racecar.

Deliveries of the Audi eMTB powered by Fantic are expected this September. Customers wishing to register their interest can find additional information on the AudiUSA website through Audi Genuine Accessories. Audi is also offering a selection of branded accessories including riding gloves, cycling jerseys and shorts, water bottles and packs, as well as a variety of compatible bike racks to fit select models.
