BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less.

The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Troxus T-XC. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- Experts relish the motor's power and smooth, gradual power delivery.
- Testers say the T-XC demonstrates good traction and stability on downhills.
- Reviewers easily climb steep, rooty singletrack using the lower PAS levels (Eco and Trail).
- Tests show the Tektro Gemini four-piston hydraulic disc brakes (203/180mm rotors) offer plenty of stopping power.
- The Shimano CUES 1x11 drivetrain shifts reliably and offers a wide gear range.
- The Kenda Booster 2.4” tires offer a good balance of grip and rolling speed.
- The frame features Boost spacing and a tapered head tube, making it easy to upgrade.
- Bafang's mobile app allows users to fine-tune motor power settings.
- A reviewer praises the comprehensive user manual.
- Troxus works with over 200 partner dealers in the US for servicing, support, and test rides.
8 reasons not to buy
- The motor's torque output in the high assist levels is excessive for mountain trails. A tester recommends using the lowest PAS level for trail riding.
- The budget XCM34 suspension fork gets easily overwhelmed by big hits.
- The size M frame doesn’t have enough insertion space for the dropper, resulting in too high of a saddle height for one tester.
- The rims aren't tubeless-compatible.
- An expert says the long wheelbase and chainstays limit the bike's maneuverability.
- The kickstand and optional throttle are not suitable for mountain biking, and e-bikes with throttles aren't permitted on most trails.
- At 62lb, Troxus T-XC is very heavy for a "mountain hardtail e-bike".
- Some reviewers complain of unexplained rattling sounds and the motor noise.
Bottom line
The Troxus T-XC is a budget hardtail e-bike with a high-torque Bafang mid-drive motor. The strong power is delivered gradually and proportionally, allowing the bike to climb steep singletrack in low pedal assist levels. The effective brakes, stable handling, and smooth drivetrain impress in testing. However, the too-long dropper post, budget fork, lack of tubeless compatibility, and high weight contradict the claim that this is a mountain bike. The T-XC performs well overall on pavement and light off-road terrains, but alternatives like Ride1UP's TrailRush offer similar performance at a lower price. Unfortunately, true e-MTBs aren't available at this price.Expert Reviews
