Full Specification
Moustache Clutch 160.9 Pinion eMTB
Bike Overview

Unique and Progressive Belt eMTB. TheMoustache Clutch 160.9 e-bike is a unique, top spec dual suspension electric mountain bike. Great for technical trails this is a seriously capable eMTB if you value reliability over routine maintenance andyou want progressive over norm.

Tech Forward. Powered by Pinion MGU. Moustache has taken everything it has learned about handling, suspension and ride quality, and pairs it with the strong 85Nm Pinion Motor Gearbox Unit. No derailleur, no cassette and 12 gears sealed inside the MGU with a 600% gear range. This is combined with a silent carbon belt and a large 780Wh battery that offers up to 110km range. 

“By moving the motor and gearbox into a sealed mid-frame unit, the Clutch with Pinion MGU transforms how an eMTB rides. With no derailleur or cassette, the suspension feels more responsive, gear changes are near-instant and silent, and there’s nothing to wear out on the rear wheel. It’s a meaningful shift in performance and maintenance that riders will feel immediately on the trail.” E-Mountainbike Magazine

Robust, Responsive Flagship Build. The Clutch 160.9 is the flagship build. It is equipped with the top-of-the range 170mm ZEB Ultimate fork and 160mm Vivid Ultimate shock - plush, planted and highly adjustable. It runs a mullet wheel set up with the excellent Mavic E-Meemax wheels with some serious stopping power is provided by the Magura Gustav Pro brakes with 19mm pistons and 203mm rotors. Overall, this is an eBike designed to be ridden hard and looked after easily.
