For BH, the development of this in-house engine is strategic. In addition to no longer being dependent on external suppliers such as Shimano or Bosch, it is for the manufacturer to regain control of a key component of electric bicycles.
On the battery side, the brand always seems to resort to external sourcing. Offering 540 Wh of capacity, the battery of the BH Core Cross announces up to 130 kilometers of autonomy on a single charge. The set is controlled by a small X-Remote digital screen which allows you to view data relating to the state of charge of the battery, the level of assistance, the speed and the distance traveled.
Mounted on 28-inch wheels, the BH Core Cross features a Shimano Deore 10-speed derailleur and disc brakes front and rear. Excluding any ecological bonus, it is announced at a price of around €3,000.
