Reliability You Can Feel on Every Pedal Stroke
Reliability is something riders experience directly on every journey, not just a concept on paper. The MAHLE X30 System has been created to deliver stable, predictable assistance across a wide variety of situations, from long road rides to gravel adventures and everyday commuting. With 45 Nm of torque and a 1.9 kg hub motor, it brings together lightweight engineering and robust construction, ensuring the assistance remains smooth and natural without sudden changes in behaviour. This consistency is central to how the X30 System supports both performance-focused rides and repeated daily use.
Reliability You Can Feel on Every Pedal Stroke
The X30 Drive Unit provides progressive, stable assistance that supports your cadence without unexpected behaviour — whether you are riding long road routes, exploring gravel tracks or navigating the city.
- Balanced power: 250 W and 45 Nm.
- Lightweight structure: just 1.9 kg in a compact hub motor.
- Low noise: clean, quiet and natural pedal feeling.
- Clear control: HMI showing battery level, assistance power and alerts at a glance.
The result: a steady, natural ride for training, exploring or commuting.
Robustness Designed for Real‑World Use
The X30 has been engineered to meet the demands of real daily cycling, where repeated stops, surface vibrations and constant changes of pace are common. Its internal architecture and component layout are designed to withstand this type of usage without compromising performance. The PAS sensor ensures balanced and continuous support, while the optional torque sensor adds adaptive behaviour that responds to changes in effort and terrain. This flexibility means the system remains intuitive for a wide range of riders, from those who prefer a consistent level of assistance to those who benefit from a more dynamic response. The overall robustness of the system reduces dependency on frequent maintenance and keeps performance stable even under regular commuting conditions.
X Series Ecosystem: Compatibility that Enhances Reliability
The X30 System is fully compatible with components and the digital experience of the X Series, sharing the logic and user experience of the X20 System, our premium reference for ultralight performance. This offers:
- Clarity for brands: smooth integration and a coherent platform.
- Efficiency for dealers: a familiar system that simplifies service.
- Consistency for riders: same app, same controls, same connected advantages.
Each system serves a different purpose: X20 leads in ultralight performance; X30 focuses on versatility and reliability.
Power at Your Own Pace: Batteries and External Battery
The X30 System offers a flexible approach to energy management, giving riders the ability to choose the main battery configuration that best matches their riding style. The iX2 and iX3 batteries allow different balances of autonomy and total weight, and both benefit from intelligent fast‑charging that reaches 80% in under two hours with a 4 A charger, making the system practical for commuters who need quick turnarounds. Riders who require additional range can add the External Battery eX1, which provides a further 171 Wh and can extend the ride by up to around 55 km. This layered battery strategy ensures that the X30 can support everything from long weekend rides to repeated short trips during a typical working week.
Controls and Connectivity: Clear Information, Hands on the Handlebar
The interaction between the rider and the X30 System has been designed to be simple and clear. The HMI offers essential ride information at a glance, while Pulsar ONE expands the level of detail with data related to range estimation, ride metrics and customisable assistance levels. Control options such as eShifters and the Duo Remote allow riders to adjust assistance without releasing their grip on the handlebar, creating a more secure and intuitive riding experience. These elements come together to reinforce the system’s sense of reliability, ensuring that information and control remain accessible and unobtrusive.
Who the X30 System Is Designed For
The versatility of the X30 System allows it to adapt naturally to different types of eBikes. In eRoad bikes, it maintains a steady rhythm that supports sustained efforts over long distances. In eGravel bikes, it delivers the consistency needed to handle uneven or mixed terrain without disrupting traction or cadence. In urban and folding bikes, the system’s robustness and predictable behaviour offer reassurance during daily commutes with frequent stops, starts and varied surfaces. For kids’ bikes, the smoothness and progressive assistance of the X30 System make it suitable for young riders who benefit from a supportive and confidence‑building experience.
