Croatian bike manufacturer and tech company Greyp is fully committed to both the Gamification of eBikes and artificial intelligence. For the new season, the brand expands its portfolio with a more aggressive, high-end and limited version of their Greyp G6X model. Furthermore, we will give you all the details about their new Greyp G5.1 and G5.2 hardtail models.
With the launch of their fully-networked G6 eMTB last spring, Greyp gave a clear statement about the role of AI in the eMTB sector. We have already tested the Greyp G6 extensively and were impressed with its connectivity features. You can read more about this in our article about Greyp and their G6 full susser here. All Greyp bikes feature a Central Intelligence Module (CIM), which ensures a permanent connection with the app using an e-SIM card. In addition, standard cameras (front and rear), monthly software updates and a smartphone bar-mount round off the overall package. Navigation data, fitness level monitoring, video streaming and data analysis can be managed via the smartphone app and 12 function buttons.
Spec and details of the Limited Greyp G6X
The G6X is an evolution of Greyp’s G6 full-susser. With its production limited to just 100 units, this special and limited edition features a more aggressive geometry, a fully-integrated Magura cockpit and additional wireless features such as a SRAM AXS Reverb dropper and SRAM Eagle AXS groupset. Retail price is €13,999.
With the SRAM AXS components and the cables neatly tucked away inside the bars, the cockpit of the G6X looks very tidy – and the messy cluster of cables we know from the Greyp G6 has finally disappeared! For the suspension, Greyp relies on a 150 mm Öhlins RXF 36 fork and Öhlins TTX air-shock. The Croatian eMTB is powered by an MPF motor which runs on a custom firmware and churns out a nominal power of 250 watts and 95 Nm of torque. The motor draws its power from an in-house custom-made 700 Wh battery that goes by the name of “High Density Energy Bar”.
One more striking feature of the Greyp G6X are the Bikeahead Biturboe carbon wheels. The eBike rolls out of the factory on a 29″ front- and a 27.5″ rear-wheel. Whilst with a short reach, steep head angle and long chainstays, the G6 didn’t exactly strike us as a trail rocket in our test, the optimised G6X-version features a more aggressive geometry. For example, the head angle was changed to 64° using an Angleset. The Greyp G6X weighs in at 25 kg and will be launched this year.
Spec of the Greyp 5.1 and 5.2 hardtail-models
Like all Greyp models, the new Greyp 5.1 and Greyp 5.2 HT models come with a MPF motor with a custom firmware, a nominal power of 250 watts, 95 Nm torque and a 700 Wh battery.
The frame is made of carbon. For its HT models, Greyp relies on a mix of 29″ and 27.5+ wheels, respectively front and rear.
Whilst the cheaper 5.1 version retails at € 4,499 and features a 140 mm Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork, Formula Cura brakes with 180 mm rotors and a Box Components Two-E 9 rear-derailleur, the more expensive 5.2 model costs € 5,599 and features a 140 mm FOX Float 34 Performance fork, Formula Cura brakes with 203 mm rotors and an 11-speed SRAM Eagle Gx rear-derailleur. In addition, the Greyp 5.2 comes with a 100 mm dropper post ex works. The weight of hardtail models hasn’t yet been disclosed.
More developments coming soon
In the near future, Greyp wants to focus more on data analysis and networking. Starting 2020, the USB-C cable that connects the CIM to the smartphone will only be used to power the mobile phone, while the videos will be transferred wireless. In addition, the saddle camera can also work as a rear-view mirror in connection with the smartphone screen. Amongst many other new networking features, Greyp wants to include live video streaming for all their new bikes. In the near future, the sensors will be able to measure your airtime and display this in the app. By 2020, all of this will be accessible by iOS users.
Our first impressions about the new Greyp products
The Croatian bike- and tech-brand is expanding its portfolio with a number of fully-networked bikes and wants to improve its connectivity features in the near future. With its G6X Limited Edition eMTB, Greyp is introducing a fine carbon rig, which promises to be fun both on the trail and on your smartphone! In addition, to make Bike Gamification accessible to all HT-fans, Greyp release two hardtail models.
