powered by Brose and offers a claimed 680W of peak power and up to 90Nm of torque. According to SRAM, Eagle
Powertrain “applies natural feeling, traction generating, technical move completing, controllable power to the rear wheel”. The new motor will offer riders two support modes, Range and Rally.
