RIDE BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

Our mid-range Kado RS is a capable and confidence-inspiring full-power, full-torque eMTB that will help you realise your riding dreams.
With an empowering ride; confidence-inspiring handling; the range to go for miles and miles; Bosch’s refined and reliable motor; an easy to remove 800Wh internal battery; our game-changing low centre of gravity design; meticulously tuned suspension for perfect control; specially curated parts, and more, Kado RS is ready to help you ride beyond your expectations – everywhere.
HIGHLIGHTS
– 160mm front + 150mm rear of custom-tuned suspension travel.
– Carbon fibre mainframe + alloy back end is light and tough.
– Bosch's fifth generation Performance Line CX full-torque (85Nm), full-power (600W) motor.
– 800Wh removeable internal battery so you can ride further.
– 29in trail-smoothing wheels front and rear.
– Optimised low centre of gravity gives you exceptional, confidence-inspiring handling.

RIDES LIKE A DREAM
We’ve poured everything into Kado RS to give you the best handling and ride performance possible: an optimised low centre of gravity to give you exceptional cornering agility and balanced handling on any terrain; custom-tuned suspension for the very best grip, feedback and control; confidence-inspiring geometry, and much more. All masterfully combined to help you realise your riding dreams.

CHARGE TIME: 50% in 2.3hrs from empty, and to 100% in 6.9hrs with 4A Charger.

THE RANGE TO ROAM
With an 800Wh internal battery as standard and compatibility with Bosch’s aftermarket 250Wh ‘PowerMore’ range extender (available separately; fits size M–XL frames), Kado RS is ready to give you up to a 1050Wh of combined battery capacity. But more than that: Bosch’s latest, most efficient ‘PowerTube 800’ battery also gives you more range for less weight than its ‘PowerTube 750’ predecessor. All so you can ride as far – and as wide – as you wish.

REFINED AND RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Quieter and lighter than ever, the fifth generation Performance Line CX motor gives you Bosch’s most refined, reliable and efficient motor performance. 600W of peak, trail-usable power. 85Nm of torque. All tuneable to your tastes using the Bosch eBike Flow app., and ready to be boosted further via incoming software updates. Add in a further improved motor response and smart power delivery and you’ve the power and control to conquer any trail.

SLIDE IN, SLIDE OUT
Removing the Kado RS’s internal battery is a dream for storage, battery swaps, or off-the-bike charging: just open the battery cover, undo the captive bolt, and slide the battery out. To replace, just do the reverse. Simple. Every Kado can also take both 600Wh and 800Wh batteries so if you decide to buy a spare so you can change the stock 800Wh battery out for a smaller capacity battery for shorter rides – or for racing – you can.

All bikes purchased from iRIDE will have been pre-assembled by our mechanics and test ridden. You will also receive a multi point checklist of all the safety checks and bike build elements we work through to ensure you bike is correctly assembled, and then tested so that it runs as it should. Bikes being sent to a customer who is unable to collect it from iRIDE, will have it boxed, wheels, saddle and bars generally off and re-packaged.

The delivery of bikes will be organized once a freight fee can be determined based on weight and delivery location.

Assembly should take no longer than 10-20 minutes. It is recommended that a skilled mechanic assemble, or check the bike. If possible your local bike shop is likely best placed to do this from a safety perspective to ensure all is as it should be. If a rider is having any issues we can hook up an online video chat, or talk over the phone. If this service is required email us at workshop@iride.net.nz to organise a time that suits all parties.
