From flow to rougher trails, the Patron eRIDE is like a Swiss knife, able to bring you up the trail with efficiency and ride down with confidence. It has the biggest internal battery and the latest technologies. 160mm of travel front and rear.
The Patron comes with a completely new and revolutionary design. The rear suspension is fully integrated into the frame and gives 160mm of travel. More than a design element, the shock integration gives space to the other elements such as the motor, the battery and a water bottle. Easy to access, the shock comes with our TwinLoc technology to lock the suspension directly from the handlebar for optimal pedaling efficiency.
The Patron eRIDE comes with the latest electric technology from Bosch. Looking for more autonomy? The Patron sets a new standard with the new 750Wh battery and its 20% additional capacity. One of the biggest achievement of this bike is to fit the biggest battery on the market without impacting the tube proportions, we were also able to keep offering all sizes from S to XL. Expect to do up to 100km or 2000m of elevation on eco mode or half that if you select the Turbo mode.
The Patron eRIDE comes with a unique technology to provide an optimal battery support. How? The battery is the heaviest element of the bike, therefore it’s crucial to have it properly mounted without compromising the ease of removal. The battery fits like a glove into its tube which is incorporated into the main carbon frame. This tube in tube construction ensures an easy battery slide-in when it’s time to go riding. Cable routing is as well nice and tidy too.
The Bosch motor comes with 85Nm and up to 340% assistance and totally new software that amplifies this natural feeling.
The motor is one of the key element on any E-MTB, therefore we wanted to protect it from impacts. On the Patron eRIDE, the motor is vertically positioned and supported from underneath. The frame acts like a nest with the motor cradled on top for a natural support.
As the Patron eRIDE motor is supported from underneath, its top part seats in the open air, therefore, like a chimney the air is free to go out. This ventilation steam is even reinforced when you ride thanks to the holes on the cover.
Electric mountain bikes have a crowded handlebar, between the brakes, dropper post, gears, drive unit cables, remote and suspension lockout, that’s a lot of cables. The Syncros Engineering team together with the SCOTT team worked on a clean solution to route cables directly in the handlebar for a clean finished.
Inspired by our racing department, the Patron comes with the carbon 1 piece stem/handlebar combo.
Trails are technical enough and it’s always better to keep your hands on the handlebar! The Twinloc lever combines now the dropper post lever for a better ergonomics and a cleaner cockpit.
The TwinLoc will for example allowed you to lock your suspension on the road during a transfer. How does it work? The TwinLoc Suspension System is a proprietary SCOTT Suspension System that works by connecting the shock, fork, and ultimately the frame via a handlebar remote. With the remote, the user has the ability to choose from three ride modes, Descend, Traction Control and Lockout, effectively changing the bikes geometry, suspension damping and spring curve simultaneously.
A front and a rear fender are delivered with the bike, both fenders are tailor made for the Patron for a clean and perfect adjustment. For optimal security, the rear fenders come with integrated LED lights that are directly powered by the motor battery. A cable is already routed, and a plug already mounted on the handlebar for a front light. A range of Syncros accessories are available for the Patron eRIDE such as a kickstand, a rear fender, a rear rack or an action camera mount.
Not much can resist to the riding ability of the Patron eRIDE. From a fast alpine trail to a technical narrow trail in the forest, the Patron eRIDE will give plenty of support and modularity. Close to an enduro bike with its 160mm of travel front and rear, the Patron eRIDE keeps the pedaling efficiency of a cross-country bike thanks to the Twinloc system. This is the model that most of our ambassadors and athletes will use. How does it compare in the SCOTT Range? In terms of suspension, it will give more support than a Genius eRIDE but a bit less than a Ransom eRIDE. On the other hand, it will be nimbler than a Ransom eRIDE.The Patron eRIDE has the biggest battery, the best integration and connectivity.
