Today, we are excited to share that we have been honoured with two prestigious Design & Innovation Awards 2025 for two systems launched last year, further solidifying our position as leaders in technology, innovation and design.
Award for the X30 System: Compact, Lightweight and Powerful
The X30 system has been recognised for its compact design, lightweight construction, and its ability to deliver efficient performance while preserving the essence of cycling.
At the heart of this system is the X30 motor, which seamlessly combines power and a natural pedalling feel, making it ideal for cyclists seeking an agile riding experience without losing the sensations of a traditional bicycle.
The jury highlighted the system’s ability to combine high performance with a discreet aesthetic, making it the perfect integration for any electric bicycle.
Award for the XS System: Revolutionary with Near-Infinite Customisation Possibilities.
The XS System has been acclaimed as a disruptive breakthrough in the cycling industry, both for conventional and electric bicycles. This system combines a minimalist design with advanced technology, offering a complete solution that includes intelligent connectivity, customisable pedalling assistance, and an optimised user experience for every type of rider.
The jury praised its focus on modularity and versatility, making it ideal for urban cyclists and those seeking to enhance their long-distance adventures.
Continuous Recognition: Past and Present Successes
These awards mark a new milestone in the trajectory of MAHLE SmartBike Systems. In 2023, we were also honoured with a Design & Innovation Award for our X20 System, the lightest on the market. This recognition reflected the revolutionary impact of the X20, designed to redefine the standards of weight and performance in electric bicycles.
Now, with these new accolades in 2025, we continue to reaffirm our commitment to innovation, offering solutions that combine advanced technology and design to deliver an unparalleled cycling experience.
