Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the iGO Outland Torngat RS. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

  • In testing, the Outland Torngat RS handles non-technical trails and singletrack well. 
  • An expert praises the motor's quick response to both pedaling and throttle engagement.
  • The Outland Torngat RS performs well in a throttle-only hill-climbing test. 
  • The natural pedal feel and consistent power increases across PAS levels impress reviewers.
  • Experts enjoy the comfortable ride on pavement and light off-road terrains.
  • In a PAS 5 range test, a reviewer covers 37.3 miles at 16.7mph on a paved, relatively flat route.
  • Experts relish the stability, traction, and comfort provided by the 4.8" Maxxis tires.
  • Reviewers appreciate the inclusion of a throttle on a mid-drive e-bike.

10 reasons not to buy

  • The Outland Torngat RS is expensive, given the level of components. 
  • Though they perform reasonably in testing, the RST Renegade fork and Shimano Alivio drivetrain are below average at this price and unsuited to true mountain biking.
  • The bike's length, high weight, and massive tires make it unsuited to technical off-roading.
  • The Outland Torngat RS comes in only one frame size.
  • Riders at the low end of the 5'4" to 6'2" stated height range will likely struggle with the 30.7" standover height.
  • The 275lb payload capacity is below average for fat-tire e-bikes. 
  • Though the Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes are deemed 'good' in testing, the reviewer questions their long-term performance. A bike this pricey deserves better brakes.
  • An expert finds the 730mm handlebars too narrow for off-road riding. 
  • One reviewer says the throttle and dropper post levers are positioned too close together. They opt to remove the throttle for trail riding.
  • An e-bike this expensive should be UL-certified. The Outland Torngat RS is not.

Bottom line

iGO's Outland Torngat RS e-bike has 4.8" Maxxis Minion tires, a 120mm suspension fork, and a 500W mid-drive motor. In the only review, the bike performs well on dry, rocky off-road trails. The reviewer praises the powerful and responsive motor, throttle-only climbing performance, and quality Maxxis tires. Battery range seems decent, but is only tested on a flat, paved route. The brakes, drivetrain, and fork disappoint at this price, and, along with the narrow bars and high weight, mean this bike isn't suited to true mountain biking. The reviewer deems this a successful fat-tire e-bike, but it is significantly overpriced.
