Rough terrain, steep descents and long days in the saddle: The new Ghost E-Riot for demanding conditions

April 10, 2026 by Andrew Waldera

The new Ghost E-Riot for demanding conditions

Product News: The new Ghost E-Riot was developed for riders who love rough terrain, steep descents, and long days on the bike. At the top of the range are the E-Riot LTD and the E-Riot Full Party, both equipped with the new Bosch Performance Line CX-R drive system. With 170 mm of front and 160 mm of rear travel, a mullet setup, and a maximum system weight of 150 kg, the new E-Riot is built for demanding conditions.

The E-Riot follows a clear design language with its characteristic, straightforward lines. The redesigned, seamless integration of the Bosch Kiox 400C display into the top tube keeps the cockpit uncluttered and all essential riding data in view. Combined with the mini remote on the handlebars, the system allows for intuitive control without unnecessary bulk. Additional mounting points under the top tube provide space for a tool mount solution, while the two top models, the E-Riot LTD and Full Party, also feature the XLC Trailtool Solution (TTS), a multi-tool seamlessly integrated into the head tube.

E-Riot LTD


The heart of the E-Riot LTD and the Full Party is the new Bosch Performance Line CX-R drive unit. Weighing just 2,7 kg, it's lighter, more responsive, and designed for challenging terrain. It delivers powerful support precisely when needed. On steep climbs and technical sections, the Race mode unleashes its full potential, while reduced pedaling resistance and a smoother ride enhance the overall experience. Combined with the 800 Wh battery and a new generation of cells, the system is built for long days without compromise.

As the centerpiece of the model range, the E-Riot Full Party (MSRP from €9.500) defines the platform's character. Designed for dynamic riding and progressive lines, its SRAM and RockShox setup delivers a playful, gravity-oriented feel. The E-Riot LTD (MSRP from €11.000 The Euro takes a more precise and uncompromising approach. With Fox Factory suspension and Shimano XTR Di2 drivetrain – including Auto-Shift for automatic gear selection and a constant cadence – it is designed for riders seeking maximum control and performance on challenging terrain.

In addition to these two models, the E-Riot Pro (MSRP from €8.000) and the E-Riot Advanced (MSRP from €6.499) complete the model range and make the platform accessible to a wider group of riders. Both are powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor and offer a balanced combination of performance and intuitive handling within the E-Ghost Riot family, with the option to unlock additional power of up to 100 Nm and 750 W via the Bosch FlowApp.
