Is less really more? The new BASH/MTN from Serial 1

Less really is more.

Less complexity and less mechanical complication mean more fun and more freedom on the trail. Really. That’s the promise of BASH/MTN, a rigid, single speed eMTB that delivers the purest off-road riding experience possible. No fussy suspension to tune, no finicky drivetrain to adjust—just two wheels, one gear, and one purpose, to provide the most direct connection between you and the trail. The less you worry about managing and maintaining technology, the more you can focus on enjoying the ride—and the added exhilaration of electric pedal-assist power makes everything even more fun.

Inspired by a Serial 1 engineer’s personal build, BASH/MTN takes theback-to-basics minimalism of the mega-popular MOSH/CTY and adaptsit for off-road adventure with grippy, high-volume Michelin E-Wildknobby tires and a spine-saving, shock-absorbing SR Suntour NCXsuspension seat post. Everything you love about the MOSH/CTY ismaintained—including the crisp handling and immediate feedback thatonly come from a rigid frame and the instant acceleration that thesingle-speed drivetrain delivers—all presented with the clean,uncluttered style that you have come to expect from Serial 1.

Under Yucca Tan paint with special Gloss Graffiti graphics, BASH/MTN retains all the features and functionality of the standardMOSH/CTY model, including the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive belt, amid-mounted Brose S Mag motor that makes 90Nm of knee-saving torque, smooth-stopping TRP four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, internally routed cables and wires, and integrated lighting. Plus, like all2022 Serial 1 eBikes, the BASH/MTN incorporates a full suite of cloud-enabled connectivity features via the Serial 1 App, developed in partnership with Google Cloud to capture essential ride data, improve security and safety, and make it easier than ever before to just enjoy the ride.

BASH/MTN is the second offering from Serial 1’s Select Series—limited-edition,special-production versions of the company’s standard eBikes that have been elevated withpremium finishes, added technology, exclusive components, and unmatched attention todetail. (The first Select Series offering was the white-tired MOSH/TRIBUTE that sold out almostimmediately.) The BASH/MTN build will number just 1050 units: 525 bound for the UnitedStates and 525 destined for Europe.
