With pedal-assist technology, they can conquer hills, ride longer distances, and navigate tough terrain without overexerting themselves.ย

A standout feature among Baby Boomers is torque-sensing pedal assist. Unlike basic cadence sensors, which provide fixed levels of assistance, torque sensors adjust support based on how hard the rider pedals. This creates a natural, intuitive experience that makes riders feel as though they have superhuman strength.ย
