Thermal Control,
Steady Output.
Smarter heat paths keep core temperatures in check so power stays consistent on long climbs with repeated hits.

Natural Delivery,
Precise Traction.
Smooth, predictable assist makes tehnical sections feel controlled and balanced, helping tires hook up without drama.

Quiet Strength,
Built to Last.
Tight packaging and proven materials reduce noise and wear so performance feels refined ride after ride.

Compact Core.
Peak Power.
Under the hood, the Photon Gen 2 features an in-runner motor with over 30% efficiency gain under high loading conditions resulting in 60% less heat generated and the ability to sustain peak power continuously. The internal clutch is engineered to handle over three times the load of the Gen 1, reinforcing its position as one of the most durable systems on the market. With modular construction and compatibility up to 72V, this is a system built not just for today, but for tomorrow.


Peak Torque for Every Trail
