![]() Instead, you only get an approximate battery percentage with 20% increments and a 1-5 pedal assist level indicator. You won’t get a speed reading with these five basic LEDs. It reminds me of the wood of ONYX electric mopeds and helps create continuity across the company’s model ranges despite the very different designs and use cases.Īs much as I love the way ONYX uses real wood in their products, that’s why the ONYX LZR Pro’s display is a bit simplistic. This front suspension fork offers 100mm of adjustable travel with lockout for the way back to the tarmac.Īnd there’s even a nice wooden inlay for the battery indicator and power level indicator for the pedal assistance. The front is still quick release to make it easier to pull the wheel out if needed, but the thick thru-axles are designed to absorb the forces of repeated jumps and hard braking.Īll cable and hose routing is internal, including for the Tektro HD-M285 hydraulic disc brakes. The bike uses BMX dirt jump hubs with true thru axles instead of quick releases. The quality components continue all around the bike. Whoever welded this thing took pride in their work and it shows. I’ve seen beautiful frames before and this one puts the others to shame.Įven down to the rear dropouts, where many well-made frames tend to still have an undesirable weld, the LZR Pro’s frame is immaculate. They use something called Smooth Weld Additive Technology (SWAT) that somehow results in buttery-smooth welds at the frame tube joints. ONYX didn’t skimp on parts, and it starts right with the frame. The first thing you will notice about the LZR is the build quality. That means that while there’s good performance here, you won’t be able to access it without pedaling a bit old-fashioned. However, both have no throttle, which is what makes these Class 3 e-bikes at their purest. Otherwise they’re both pretty similar, but you all know me – I’ll opt for more power whenever possible. There’s also a slightly tamer 500W mid-drive version with slightly less torque (95Nm vs. ![]() I tested the LZR Pro, the more powerful 900W version with the M600 Bafang mid-drive. Extras: LED dot display with wood inlay for battery gauge and PAS level indicator, thru-axles, torque sensor, three color options (one for LZR Pro and two for LZR)įirst of all, you should know that there are two different e-bikes in the LZR series.Suspension: Front suspension fork with 100mm travel.ONYX LZR Pro video review Specifications of the ONYX LZR Pro ![]() And if you want to delve even deeper, then continue reading the rest of my written review. You can check out my own in-depth testing with my video review below. And if you’re a better rider than me, you could get some decent airtime on this type of bike all day and night without worrying it wouldn’t hold up to the abuse. I didn’t jump off loading docks or seven-foot ramps, but I still had it almost sideways on berms, throwing dirt in all directions. I’m not setting you up for some sort of discovery story where the real dirt jumper was in me all along.īut what I discovered is how much fun I can have on trails and small jumps with a quality e-bike like the ONYX LZR Pro. This is not going to be a review where I learn to defy gravity with the best of them. I saw ONYX’s marketing images and videos showing their team of pro riders flying across the sky on this e-bike and I thought, “Well, there’s something I’ll never be able to do.”Īnd I was right. But while the ONYX LZR Pro e-bike doesn’t have much competition on either side as one of the models in its class, the bike still manages to stand out for its impressive build quality and its ability to take it to the trails. Electric dirt jumpers are a niche within a niche of the larger electric bike market.
