The all-new Scott Patron eRIDE is truly their next level. The Swiss bike maker’s goal seems to be to smooth out their mountain bikes and hide all of the suspension & ebike tech inside the frame, protected from the elements. Dialing back its travel a bit to 150mm out back, Scott gives the new Patron an all-new 4-bar suspension design and more capable & adjustable geometry. At the same time, tucking the rear shock and the latest Bosch Performace CX motor and an 800Wh battery entirely inside both carbon and aluminum frame versions.
All-New Scott Patron eRIDE eMTB
Scott’s all-mountain to enduro Patron eRIDE eMTB was already one of the most integrated when it tucked its vertically-oriented motor & shock under special covers in the previous generation. But this new generation takes a big step further.
Now the latest, smoother Bosch Performace CX motor goes back to a horizontal orientation under a new motocross-inspired cover. Scott calls it their “most impact-resistant component ever“. They designed it first to protect the motor. But thanks to rubber contact against the motor itself, it also damps motor noise for quieter eMTB riding.
And then, the new 800Wh PowerTube battery gets tucked inside the oversized downtube, behind a tool-free but secure protective easy-access door.
Plus, the new Patron eRide eMTB gets the same upside-down shock hidden from mud inside the downtube like all the latest Scott Bold-inspired mountain bikes. Only this time, there’s a removable cover at the front of the seat tube for easier shock access, taking cues from the previous Patron. There are also partial covers for the builds with piggy-back shocks.
Adjustable, adaptable geometry
Shifting the new Patron eRide into a more versatile eMTB, Scott starts off with a slightly steeper head angle (now 65.8° vs. 65° in the previous generation) and about 1cm longer Reacg. But that’s really just to give them more flexibility to play around. So then, the Super Trail ST versions can get a longer travel fork pushing it to a 64.9° head angle, and effectively bringing Reach back to what it was before. But that’s all in the standard -0.6° headset starting position.
Yes, thanks to a +/-0.6° adjustable headset, buyers can easily further tweak how they want the new ebike to handle riding the steepest terrain. (New Patrons all also come with the 0° no-offset headset cups if they’d prefer an in-between position.)
Carbon or Aluminum, plus some Carbon/Alloy combinations
Of course, integration is all the rage, and Scott is all about hiding everything inside. But it’s also pretty interesting that they managed to tuck shock, motor & battery seamlessly inside the frame – both with carbon and alloy mainframes. Balancing weight savings and cost, Scott also has a carbon and aluminum version of the rear triangle as well. However, only the more aggressive riding ST version gets the option of carbon seat & chainstays.
