Bottom line
The QuietKat Apex is a hardtail electric fatbike. It’s available with a Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor in three sizes; an outrageous 1500W, powerful 1000W or reasonable 750W. It can haul 325 lb of rider, kit and kill. 5 Levels of pedal assist are on offer, in addition to an independent throttle and walk-assist mode. Braking comes via powerful Tektro 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. The Apex’s air suspension fork is QuietKat’s own proprietary 150mm, moto-style, inverted model. Ginormous Kenda Juggernaut 26” x 4.5” tires can be run at low pressure over rocks and roots for extra comfort. Owners of 750W Apex models sometimes struggled to push this 71 lb beast up steep inclines. Reviewers say the Apex is more suited to 4x4, forest and doubletrack roads, rather than singletrack or technical trails.Expert Reviews
