Suspension
The Oso doesn't just lean into enduro territory. It drops in, elbows out and goggles down. The long wheelbase, roomy cockpit and slack 64-degree head angle are designed for optimal racing performance. And its size-specific seat angles allow riders of any height to bang out climbs in comfort without wasting a watt.
Large and extra large Oso frames are built around matching 29-inch wheels, while small and medium frames get the mixed-wheel treatment and shorter chainstays. That keeps the Oso from ever feeling unwieldy. In fact, it’s pretty damn wieldy.
The Bosch Performance line CX has a quiet, powerful 85 NM drive unit, which offers the most natural-feeling acceleration since the invention of gravity. On top of that, you get Bosch’s two-year warranty, a network of 2,400 dealers across the U.S., UL safety-certified batteries, and its carbon-neutral operations. So, in case you were wondering, that’s why we went with Bosch.
With a deep 750wh battery on sizes medium thru XL and a 625wh battery on the small, the Oso is built to go big and still have enough juice left to go home.
It may look a little different, but the Oso’s Upper Link suspension is still dw-link. That means it packs all the traction and efficiency you’d expect from an Ibis, but with a more supportive leverage curve to keep up with all the demands of a full-powered e-bike.
If it's our fault, we'll fix it. Simple as that.

Oso Specific FAQs
All our manuals are available here.
Tel: 1-833-BOSCH-EB (267-2432) or at their website here.
The Oso has a Bosch Performance Line CX Motor. Sizes medium through XL utilizes a 750 Wh Powertube battery. The Oso is charged via the Bosch Smart System Charger.
The size small utilizes a BES2/GEN4 Bosch Motor & 625 Wh Powertube battery.
It takes six hours to fully charge the battery and just over two hours for a 50% charge.
Yes, but the bike is optimized around a 44 mm offset fork. The 51 mm-offset fork shortens the trail (the distance between the contact patch and the steering axis), which can cause the front end to feel less stable. We prefer it with a 42-48 mm offset fork, but the choice is yours.
The Oso is compatible with the Fox X2, Fox DHX2 Coil (MY21 and newer), Fox DPX2 (MY18 and newer), Marzocchi Bomber Air, DVO Jade X, DVO Topaz Gen 3, and öhlins TTX Air. It is not compatible with the Fox Float X, DHX, Rockshox, DVO, or Cane Creek products.
When attempting to install a shock not on the approved list, please deflate the shock and cycle through the entire stroke to verify clearance.
Yes, installing a 205x65mm trunnion shock provides 170mm of rear travel. We recommend pairing this with a 190mm Rockshox Zeb, a 190mm Fox 40 (with 48mm offset crowns), or a 180mm Fox 38.
No. The hydraulic hose's diameter is too large for the frame's internal cable tunnels. However, the Reverb AXS is compatible!
The small and medium Oso ship with a 27.5” rear wheel. The large and extra-large use a different 29” specific rear triangle. We do not recommend installing a 27.5” wheel on the large and extra-large sizes as it lowers the bottom bracket height.
No, currently we do not offer 27.5" or 29" swing arm kits aftermarket.
The Oso is designed to accommodate tires up to 2.5” wide. We recommend double-checking fitment before riding.
Due to the diverse range of free hub body types and cassette spacing, some drivetrains can accommodate different max front chainrings. The Sram GX Cable 12-speed Eagle 10/52 Tooth drivetrain can accommodate a max 36T chainring. Shimano microspline drivetrains and SRAM T Type have a maximum of 34T.
The use of oval chainrings is not approved by Bosch as they can cause issues with the drive unit.
The Oso fits a 26 oz Purist water bottle on medium, large and extra large frames. The size small frame is compatible with an Abloc Arrive S (550ml/18.5oz), Specialized Big Mouth (21oz), and Polar Bottle (15oz) when used with an Arundel Side Loader Cage.
Our complete GX build in size Large weighs 53 lbs (24 kg).

Dropper Post Saddle Height Calculations
Do not try to insert your post deeper than these measurements. Forcing the post can result in a seat tube failure.
IMPORTANT: Before riding, check the saddle to tire clearance with the dropper post fully dropped and the air out of the shock with frame compressed to bottom out. Small and Medium minimums are controlled by tire bottom out.
