Technical information
Complete system
The complete system consists of drive, energy management including battery, and the central control and operating unit on the top tube. With specific software, ZF can tailor this complete electric system to different use cases. Two versions will be available at market launch, which differ in terms of performance data and support torque: CentriX 90 with an assistance torque of 90 Nm and a maximum output of 600 watts and CentriX 75 with an assistance torque of 75 Nm and a maximum output of 450 watts.
The ZF Bike Eco System is based on a 48-volt architecture and delivers 250 watts of continuous power. With a weight of just 2.5 kilograms, CentriX is extremely light compared to similarly powerful drive units. The two versions CentriX 75 and CentriX 90 make the ZF drive system suitable and attractive for a wide range of use cases. For example, the 75 Nm support power is suitable for gravel, commuter or urban bikes, while the 90 Nm support is ideal for e-MTBs, e-SUV bikes or e-trekking bikes.

Preset modes
The presets or riding profiles allow every rider to adapt the application and the riding behavior of their e-bike to the necessary circumstances and areas of use. You can choose from a total of three riding profiles (Wet, Ride, Race) via the ZF Ride app. If you have not yet installed the app, you can find it in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. The ZF Bike Eco System always remembers the last saved riding profile and executes it when the system is restarted.
Parameters affected by the riding profiles:
- Overrun
- Sensitivity when starting off
- Behavior when reaching the maximum speed
- Maximum power
