The Coniston is the no-nonsense hardtail eMTB in the Dallingridge Electric Range — the same sleek build and integrated battery frame as the rest of the line-up, built for riders who want to veer off the beaten track with a little extra kick. The updated model sharpens the package where it counts. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes bring stronger, more responsive stopping, Suntour front suspension forks smooth out the trail, and Shimano 7-speed gearing shifts cleanly across changing terrain. Power comes from a Bafang rear hub motor fed by a 36V 14Ah (504Wh) battery integrated into the down tube, giving a range of 40–60 miles from a single charge. Use the handlebar-mounted LCD display to switch assistance modes and tailor the ride to the conditions. The alloy crossbar frame keeps a slightly lower top tube to suit more riders and hold weight towards the rear for agility, while 27.5-inch wheels and all-terrain tyres roll confidently over roots, gravel and tarmac alike. The best components available at this price point, and the perfect foot in the door to the world of eMTB.
