IN BRIEF
Scott is renewing its Strike electric mountain bike, which introduces an all-new aluminium frame for the 2027 model year. The four models share the same base: 150 mm of travel front and rear, 29-inch wheels, four sizes from S to XL. According to eMTB-News, the whole range gets the same motor, a Bosch Performance Line CX, with an 800 Wh battery on the Strike 10, 20 and 30 and a 720 Wh battery on the Strike 40, for a range spanning €4,199 to €5,799. Scott went after neither the lightest nor the most radical electric mountain bike, but a comfortable bike, more affordable, according to eMTB-News, than its high-end Lumen and Voltage.

There are the electric mountain bikes chasing grams, those chasing the clock, and then there is the vast majority of riders who just want to ride for a long time without wrecking their lower back. It is those riders the new Scott Strike, unveiled on 13 August, is aimed at: a full-suspension electric mountain bike with an aluminium frame, presented as a comfort bike rather than a racing machine, and under €6,000 even at the top of the range.
A new aluminium frame for the 2027 Scott Strike
“The Scott Strike enters the 2027 model year with an all-new aluminium frame,” writes eMTB-News. The German outlet notes one particularity around the motor: the motor block and the seat tube are cast as a single piece, which is meant to cut down on welds and manufacturing tolerances while delivering high stiffness.
“All Strike models get the same aluminium frame, with 150 mm of travel front and rear, on 29-inch wheels,” Bikerumor sums up. Four sizes, from S to XL, with the same geometry from one size to the next.
Scott has thought about everyday use: the frame already carries the connections for front and rear lights.
The same Bosch Performance Line CX throughout
This is the other strong choice: no motor hierarchy. “For the drive system, the entire range relies on the Bosch Performance Line CX,” notes eMTB-News — the entry-level Strike 40 gets the same motor as the Strike 10.
The difference comes down to the battery: 800 Wh on the Strike 10, 20 and 30, 720 Wh on the Strike 40. In both cases, the frame takes the Bosch PowerMore range extender and its extra 250 Wh.
One nuance on the motor figures: the headline values — up to 120 Nm of torque, up to 750 W of peak power, up to 600% assistance — are not what comes as standard, since according to eMTB-News the system only delivers them with the Performance Upgrade 2.0: a software update, not a characteristic of the motor as shipped.
Four build levels
The Strike 10 sits at the top of the range: Fox 36 Rhythm fork, Fox Float Rhythm LV EVOL shock. The Strike 20 keeps that shock and switches to a Fox AWL HD Sport fork, with a Shimano Deore M6200 drivetrain and four-piston Deore brakes. The Strike 30 drops a notch on suspension: RockShox Psylo Silver RC Air and X-Fusion O2 Trunnion PRO RL. The Strike 40 brings up the rear with an SR Suntour XCR 36X air fork and an Edge X shock. Scott quotes, without stating a reference size, 25.3 kg (Strike 10), 24.8 kg (20), 25.7 kg (30) and 25.4 kg (40): the Strike 20 is therefore the lightest, despite a more modest build than the 10.
Control unit: Intuvia 200 on the Strike 10 and 20, and the more compact Purion 200 on the 30 and 40.
That leaves the price, and this is where caution is needed: eMTB-News quotes €4,199 to €5,799 as the German recommended price, with French pricing still to be confirmed by Scott. The German outlet gives availability as September 2026.
