![]() ![]() ![]() You don’t get any speed readout with those five basics LEDs. Now as much as I love the way ONYX uses real wood in their products, the display on the ONYX LZR Pro is a bit simplistic because of that. It reminds me of the wood on ONYX’s electric mopeds, and it helps create continuity in the company’s model lines, despite the very different designs and use cases. That front suspension fork offers 100mm of adjustable suspension with lockout for when you head back to the tarmac.Īnd there’s even a beautiful wooden inlay for the battery meter and pedal assist power level display. ![]() The front is still a quick release to make it easy to pull out the wheel when necessary, but the thick thru-axles are designed to take the forces of repeated jumps and hard braking.Īll the routing of cables and hoses 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 release skewers. The quality components continue 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 those other to shame.Įven down by the dropouts in the rear, where many nicely made frames tend to still have less-than-desirable weld finishing, the LZR Pro’s frame is immaculate. They use something called Smooth Weld Additive Technology (SWAT), which somehow results in buttery smooth welds at the frame tube joints. ONYX didn’t skimp on parts, and it starts right from the frame. The first thing you’ll notice about the LZR is the build quality. That means that even though there’s good power here, you won’t be able to access it without some good old fashioned pedaling. Neither has a throttle, though, making these class 3 e-bikes in the purest form. They’re both quite similar otherwise, but you all know me - I’m going to opt for more power whenever possible. There’s also a slightly tamer 500W mid-drive version with a bit less torque (95 Nm vs. I tested the LZR Pro, which is the more powerful 900W version with the M600 Bafang mid-drive.
