4. Commissioning of the electronic system: the display supports 5 levels of booster adjustment, and the language and unit (km/h or mph) need to be set for the first switch-on.

First Impression:

AL26 this e bike mtb full suspension adopts 6061 aluminium alloy frame with matte black/grey dual-colour painting, with 26×3.0-inch off-road tires, the overall style is tough. The full-suspension design (100mm fork travel + rear gallon hydraulic shock) and ergonomic saddle (thickened memory foam) significantly improve comfort. However, some users feedback that the rear mudguard fixings are soft and prone to rattling on bumpy roads, so you need to reinforce them yourself.

AL26 mountain ebike full suspension Core Performance Test: Power, Range and Handling

1. Battery and range

– Measured data: single motor version in power mode 3 (mid-range), weight 75kg user flat road range up to 85km; dual motor version of the full power output of the range of about 50km, in line with the official nominal.

– Charging efficiency: 2A charger can be charged to 80% in 3.5 hours, full charge in 5 hours; supports battery removal for charging (key unlock required).

– Accuracy of power display: LCD screen percentage error ±5%, power output decreases linearly at low battery (<20%) to avoid sudden stops.

2. Motor and Power Assist System

– Torque Sensor: The single-motor version is equipped with a high-sensitivity torque sensor, with a 1:1.5 ratio of pedalling force to motor output (e.g. pedalling 10N-m triggers 15N-m boost), and a response delay of <0.3 seconds.

– Dual-motor co-operation: the dual-motor version supports intelligent switching of ‘front-drive + rear-drive’, automatic distribution of power on muddy roads, and an increase of 40% in climbing efficiency.

– Independent throttle control: the throttle of the handlebar supports 0-100% stepless speed regulation, and pure electric drive can be realised even without pedalling (software unlocking is required in areas with regulatory restrictions).

3. Shock Absorption and Braking

– Fork performance: Hydraulic locking shock absorbing fork, which can absorb 90% of the vibration on gravel road, and no oil leakage or thermal degradation in continuous jumping test (30cm drop).

– Rear Guts Adjustment: Pre-loaded adjustable spring rear guts, suitable for 50-120kg users, regular lubrication is recommended to maintain rebound efficiency.

– Brake system: front and rear 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, dual-piston calipers, 60km/h braking distance of 8.2m (dry road), but the brake pads are generally wear-resistant (it is recommended to replace them every 2,000km).

4. Control details

– Transmission system: Shimano Altus 8-speed gearbox, shift smoothness is medium to high, but the chain noise is on the high side (can be upgraded to KMC X9 to improve).

– Tyre performance: Chaoyang 26×3.0 tyres, tread pattern balances road rolling resistance (about 15W) and mud grip, tyre pressure recommended 35-45PSI.

– Lighting system: 800 lumens of brightness for the front lights, with a 15-metre irradiation distance; the rear lights support brake stroboscopic flashing, but cannot be synchronised with the display power level.
