Unno Unveils the IKKI - A Lightweight, Long Travel eMTB - Mountain Bike Press Release

Unno releases its first e-light, the IKKI. The bike is equipped with the TQ HPR50 e-system, which is not only the quietest but also the smallest in its category. Thanks to this, and the lower charging port, the bike preserves the aesthetics of an analog bike, keeping very similar downtube values to its non-electric version, the BURN. The new e-light is in stock and available on the new Unno website or through the local dealer network.

The TQ HPR50 e-system boasts 50Nm of torque and 300W of power. The motor weighs 1,850g, while the battery is just 1,830g, making it the lightest e-system in its class with a total weight of 3,900g. The system is also compatible with a range extender, with a capacity of an extra 160Wh, sold separately. This external battery has the size of a 500ml water bottle and is attached to the frame with a FidlockTM system. Alongside the internal battery, it delivers a total capacity of 520Wh.

The IKKI features 170mm front and 160mm rear travel, keeping the same geometry and kinematics as its full-power sister – the MITH. Both bikes also share kinematics and geometry. The result is a bike with aggressive intentions, and reduced weight to make the most of every descent. Alongside the TQ natural feeling, the bike keeps the handling similar to an enduro or downhill bike. The bike also features an in-house developed motor plate to keep the e-system safe from rock strikes.

There will be two initial builds. The IKKI Race, in a subtle lavender and black matte colorway, features Fox Factory suspensions, GX AXS transmission, and DT Swiss HX1700 wheelset. The Factory, with a glossy raw carbon and grey color scheme, also features Fox Factory suspensions, but specs an XX AXS transmission, DT Swiss 1501 carbon wheels, and SRAM Reverb AXS dropper post.
