Vital got our mitts on a new Fezzari Timp Peak e-bike. It's a Shimano-EP8-motorized version of the La Sal Peak which has 170mm of travel and was a hard-charging, enduro-riding hit with our testers last summer. Our $5,999 base model, the Timp Peak Comp, features DVO Onyx E1 suspension, TRP DH-R EVO brakes (a highlight on our initial rides that involved prolonged braking down steep trails), DT Swiss H1900 wheels with star ratchet hub, and SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain. The Comp we have comes with a 504wh battery while all the other models are stock with a 630wh. For $200, one can upgrade the Comp to 630wh battery at the time of purchase. Our tires are also setup tubeless ($85 at checkout), and we have a dual-sided bottle cage ($17 at checkout) bringing our as-is test bike price total to $6,101. The basic tool kit that comes in the box does not include a shock pump. Add one on for $30 at checkout.

The fit, finish and details of the Timp Peak frame are fantastic. We've actually slapped the new PUSH Elevensix S shock on it just because we could. We will be using this bike as a base for some Shimano HG+ drivetrain testing (which is fine with us because NX Eagle on a full-size, long-travel e-bike feels like bringing a minivan to an SCCA race), and will definitely try mullet mode thanks to the flip chip.

We'll update with long-term impressions, but our first rides have been a blast, and it's clear that on paper, the value of the full-carbon Timp Peak is pretty solid across the range, especially when looking at the $6,999 Elite (GX build) or the $7,999 Pro (read the spec fine print down below). The Pro, with that sweet spec, is cheaper than some EP8-equipped, NX-having base models from other brands. And now for the press release...

Introducing Timp Peak: Fezzari’s Long Travel Carbon E-Bike
Enduro Electrified
Fezzari took the path less traveled when designing their new, enduro e-bike. Building upon the award-winning platforms of their mountain bike lineup, the Timp Peak is a high-performance electric enduro bike that unlocks the full mountain.
E-Bike with Analog Bike Handling
![Photo](https://p.vitalmtb.com/styles/ckeditor_fullscreen/s3/photos/stories/2023/02/28/DSC_1921.jpg?VersionId=sh.HQaEV2ZKUvP592R.4s3SUskM5AwMH&itok=Lmkpo9gK)
Often, when building e-bikes, the first step is to select a motor and battery size, and then build the suspension and geometry around it, all while hoping to maintain the ride quality as much as possible. Fezzari took a different approach. Fezzari prioritized frame geometry balance, suspension kinematics, and rider fit, while also taking into account the added weight of the drive unit and battery. Named after the majestic mountain overlooking Fezzari HQ, Timp Peak is designed to take you up and down the steepest trails, get more laps on your favorite technical loops, and let you explore remote terrain.
Designed for a Lively Yet Planted Feeling
Timp Peak’s analog sibling, the 170mm La Sal Peak, won multiple awards including Editor’s Choice for ‘Bike of the Year’, Best Value, and more. Fezzari built upon and optimized the La Sal Peak’s proven platform to match the Timp Peak’s weight, torque, and power. The result? Suspension performance that delivers a lively yet planted feeling. Fezzari worked with Rockshox, Fox, DVO, MRP, Push and EXT to custom tune each shock to pair perfectly with the Timp Peak. Every suspension package is a true custom experience as part of their 23-Point Custom SetupTM. Learn more about how Fezzari tunes suspension.
Full Carbon Frame
The Timp Peak features a full carbon frame (including front and rear triangles and shock link) that offers a lightweight and stiff platform for high-performance riding. The use of carbon allows Fezzari to manipulate tubing shapes, control stiffness, and tune desired flex. The lightweight frame construction opens the door for the optimal battery, more range, and burlier components at a competitive overall weight. The internal cable management system is quiet and easy to service.
Climb Anything
Fezzari’s motor tuning profile maximizes traction with smooth delivery of functional power rather than sudden all-out power. Timp Peak’s kinematics and geometry put you in an efficient pedaling position. The perfect seat tube angle paired with 160mm cranks, gives Timp Peak plenty of clearance to keep your cadence in the sweet spot for technical climbs. Suspension and motor work in harmony to clean tough lines.
Descend Everything
Timp Peak’s short chainstay gives a nimble and snappy feeling in tight corners. The long wheelbase and slack headtube angle provide stability in rough terrain and high speeds. Timp Peak’s 170mm travel suspension was designed to offer small bump sensitivity through choppy segments, as well as endless support for fast sections and big compressions. The low top tube and uninterrupted seat tube allow for low standover height and long dropper posts on every size.
True-to-Size GeometryTM

Rather than scaling one model to different sizes, every frame size is designed to give each rider the same ride characteristics. Real world saddle heights are used to determine the unique actual seat tube angle for each size to maintain the 77.5 degree effective seat tube angle for each rider.
Proprietary Rail System

Fezzari’s modular rail system enables the battery to sit at the lowest possible position. This results in a low center of gravity that improves traction and suspension performance. By keeping the center of gravity low, Fezzari is able to maintain a very light cockpit for great steering and handling.
Mullet Capable

Timp Peak comes stock with 29er wheels. The GA link offers two positions of geometry adjustment, giving you the choice of a mullet setup (available at checkout).
Spec’d for Real Life Use
Every spec comes with the Shimano EP8 motor and the most capable components needed for a long travel e-bike. Top shelf suspension, premium wheels, reliable groupsets and powerful brakes work together to elevate the ride experience at every build level. Out of the box, Timp Peak is ready to rip.
