Claud Butler Ridge 1.0 2026 Electric Bike

Introducing the all-new Claud Butler Ridge 1.0 electric mountain bike - the sibling of Claud Butler's best-selling Claud Butler Wrath.

The Ridge 1.0 is equipped with an integrated 375Wh battery that delivers up to 40 miles/64km of range and can be charged from flat in 5 hours - either with the battery installed on the bike or removed using the provided keys for improved safety and convenience. The added security of a key lock for the battery gives you peace of mind when parked up in a public place.

The bike is powered by the well-regarded Bafang rear hub motor system to deliver 32nm of torque, making light work of hills and make powering along the flat ground a breeze. Select from 5 different power modes depending on how much assistance you want using the sleek and easy to use handlebar display which also shows the current battery level and speed. We’ve also fitted a walk assist mode to help push the bike along when walking.

We’ve fitted the Ridge with 27.5" (650b) wheels for an exhilarating ride, while the 2.35" wide tyres provide plenty of grip in mix of riding conditions. The Ridge 1.0 features a reliable Shimano Altus 1x8-Speed gearing system with a wide-range 11-40T rear cassette for a little extra support on steeper climbs.

A 120mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lock out, super-wide 780mm bars with a short 50mm stem, easily maintained cable disc brakes, a stylish Selle Royal saddle for additional comfort and lock-on grips.

The Claud Butler Ridge 1.0 is about getting out on the trails and having fun and is available in two sizes. Claud Butler recommends the Medium for riders who are 5'4" to 5'10" (162cm to 178cm) and Large for riders who are 5'10" to 6'2" (178cm to 188cm).
