Why Audi built a second-gen eMTB 2.0
Audi wants a stake in electric two-wheel mobility. The company now ships a second-generation Audi eMTB 2.0 through Audi Genuine Accessories. Deliveries start in September 2025. MSRP lands at USD 5,850. The bike targets riders who want an enduro-capable e-assist machine with automotive-grade execution and service support.
Audi uses Fantic as its manufacturing partner. The frame geometry supports a relaxed position for control on rough trails. The livery takes cues from Audi’s RS Q e-tron rally car. That branding choice connects the bike to Quattro-era off-road history and current electric development.

What is new on the Audi eMTB 2.0
Audi and Fantic upgraded the drivetrain and braking hardware. The bike moves to SRAM GX Eagle Transmission AXS. The cassette now runs XX SL Eagle 10–52T. On descents, EPTA STAGE rotors go 220 mm front and 203 mm rear for stronger thermal capacity. These changes arrive with a lower MSRP than before.

What the numbers mean on trail
The 90 Nm Brose S-MAG motor delivers strong climbing torque with smooth starts. The belt drive cuts noise and vibration. The 720 Wh battery allows long rides in Eco and Tour, though range drops under Boost or heavy load. The mullet wheel setup improves cornering agility while keeping stability in rock gardens. The Öhlins suspension holds traction and resists fade. Oversized brakes add margin on steep descents.
