Kalkhoff Entice L Wave MY26

Kalkhoff ENTICE L SEASON Electric Bike Lightweight. Versatile. Bosch Powered. Ready for Almost Anywhere. The Kalkhoff ENTICE L SEASON is a refreshingly different all-road electric bike. Instead of simply adding a bigger motor and bigger battery – and the extra weight that comes with them – Kalkhoff has focused on creating an e-bike that is lighter, agile and genuinely enjoyable to ride. Starting from just 23 kg including the battery, the ENTICE L SEASON is impressively light for a fully equipped trekking e-bike with suspension, mudguards, lights, a MIK rear rack and a Bosch mid-drive system. At its heart is the excellent Bosch Performance Line SX Smart System motor, delivering up to 60 Nm of torque through a compact and lightweight drive unit. It's paired with an integrated Bosch CompactTube 400Wh battery, helping keep the overall weight down and giving the bike a much more natural feel both with and without assistance. Add 80mm front suspension, Shimano CUES 9-speed gearing and chunky Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres, and the ENTICE L SEASON becomes a fantastic option for riders who don't want to be limited to smooth bitumen. Ride it to work during the week, explore Adelaide's bike paths on the weekend or turn off the sealed road and continue onto gravel and rail trails – this is an e-bike designed to do a little bit of everything. Key Highlights Lightweight – From Just 23 kg Including Battery One of the biggest reasons to consider the ENTICE L SEASON. Keeping the weight down makes the bike easier to manoeuvre, easier to transport and simply more enjoyable to ride. Bosch Performance Line SX Smart System – 60 Nm Bosch's compact and lightweight performance motor provides responsive, natural assistance while helping keep the overall bike weight remarkably low. Bosch CompactTube 400Wh Battery The slim integrated battery complements the lightweight philosophy of the bike rather than adding unnecessary bulk. Bosch Smart System Modern Bosch connectivity allows you to connect the bike with the Bosch eBike Flow app and access the expanding range of Smart System functionality. Shimano CUES 9-Speed Linkglide Drivetrain Durable, dependable gearing designed to handle the additional loads associated with e-bike riding. SR Suntour XCM32 Suspension Fork – 80mm Travel More suspension travel than you'd typically find on a traditional city e-bike, helping the Entice handle gravel, rough paths and uneven surfaces comfortably. Schwalbe Smart Sam 57mm Tyres Wide, versatile tyres provide plenty of grip away from the bitumen while still rolling well enough for everyday urban riding. Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes Reliable hydraulic braking provides predictable stopping performance in changing weather and riding conditions. MIK Rear Carrier – 25 kg Capacity A proper rear rack makes it easy to add panniers, compatible MIK accessories or everyday luggage. Fully Equipped from the Factory Integrated front and rear lights, mudguards, rear rack and kickstand mean the ENTICE L SEASON is ready for everyday riding straight away. Lightweight – And That's Important We think the weight of the ENTICE L SEASON deserves particular attention. Depending on frame configuration, it weighs approximately 23–24 kg including the battery. For a fully equipped Bosch-powered e-bike with a suspension fork, wide all-terrain tyres, mudguards, lights and rear carrier, that's impressive. Weight isn't just something that matters when you're lifting the bike onto a carrier. A lighter e-bike can feel more responsive underneath you. It's easier to manoeuvre through tight spaces, easier to wheel around the garage and generally feels more like a conventional bicycle when you're actually riding it. If you enjoy cycling and want the assistance of an e-bike without feeling like you're riding an unnecessarily heavy machine, the ENTICE L SEASON is well worth considering. Bosch Performance Line SX – A Perfect Match The Bosch Performance Line SX is one of the features that makes this bike particularly interesting. Rather than chasing the huge torque figures of Bosch's heavier mountain-bike motors, the SX system focuses on combining strong assistance with a compact, lightweight design. With 60 Nm of torque, there's still plenty of assistance available for hills, headwinds and longer rides. But importantly, it retains a lively and natural character. For a bike designed to move between city streets, bike paths, gravel roads and recreational trails, we think that's exactly the right approach. Compact 400Wh Bosch Battery It's easy to assume that a bigger battery is always better. It isn't necessarily. Bigger batteries add weight, and if most of your rides don't require enormous capacity, you're carrying that extra weight every kilometre you ride. Kalkhoff has instead paired the efficient Performance Line SX motor with Bosch's compact 400Wh CompactTube battery. This helps achieve the ENTICE L SEASON's impressively low overall weight while still providing plenty of capacity for commuting and recreational riding. And because it's part of the Bosch Smart System, you also benefit from one of the most established e-bike ecosystems available. Built for More Than Bitumen The ENTICE name is Kalkhoff's all-road platform, and the L SEASON has been equipped accordingly. Up front you've got an SR Suntour XCM32 suspension fork with 80mm of travel – enough to take the edge off potholes, rough bike paths, gravel roads and light trails. The Schwalbe Smart Sam 57-584 tyres are another important part of the package. Their wider profile provides additional cushioning and stability, while the tread gives you significantly more confidence when you leave the sealed road. This isn't trying to be a full-suspension electric mountain bike. Instead, it's a versatile e-bike that doesn't force you to turn around simply because the bitumen has ended. Shimano CUES Linkglide Drivetrain The ENTICE L SEASON uses a Shimano CUES 9-speed drivetrain with Linkglide technology and a useful 11–41T cassette. CUES is particularly well suited to an e-bike like this because Shimano has designed the system with durability and consistent shifting in mind. The broad gearing range also complements the Bosch SX motor nicely, giving you easier gears for climbing while still providing plenty of range for faster riding on flatter terrain.

A lot of riders want a capable e-bike that can handle gravel roads and rougher paths, but they don't necessarily need a 25–30 kg electric mountain bike with huge suspension and an enormous battery. That's where this bike makes so much sense. At approximately 23–24 kg complete, it's relatively light. The Bosch Performance Line SX gives you responsive assistance without dominating the riding experience. The 80mm suspension and wide Smart Sam tyres provide the versatility to explore beyond smooth bike paths. And despite the focus on keeping weight down, Kalkhoff hasn't stripped away the practical equipment. You've still got lights, mudguards, a 25 kg MIK rear rack and kickstand. That combination of low weight, practicality and all-road versatility is what we really like about the ENTICE L SEASON. Perfect for Adelaide – From the Coast to the Hills This is exactly the sort of e-bike that works well around Adelaide because our riding can change so much in a relatively short distance. Use it for commuting during the week or cruise along the coastal paths around Brighton and Glenelg. On the weekend, head towards the Adelaide Hills, explore gravel roads, rail trails and unsealed paths, or simply take the turn you've always wondered about. The 60 Nm Bosch Performance Line SX motor provides plenty of assistance when the terrain starts heading upwards, while the wide Schwalbe tyres and 80mm suspension give you the confidence to keep riding when the surface becomes rougher. And because it's substantially lighter than many big-battery trekking and SUV e-bikes, it retains much more of that enjoyable bicycle feel. If you're looking for one e-bike that can commute, tour, explore and tackle some gravel without becoming unnecessarily big and heavy, the ENTICE L SEASON is a fantastic choice.
