Propain Sresh SL Review | The Best Lightweight eMTB of 2025?

Описание: Welcome back to Sam’s Bikes where we only talk Ebike and in this video we are talking about the all-new 2025 Propain Sresh SL – a lightweight super light eMTB designed for trail, enduro and bike park riders.

2025 feels like an arms race for the most powerful electric mountain bikes, with brands pushing 90Nm motors, massive 800Wh+ batteries, and full-power race-ready e-bikes. But Propain has gone in a different direction with the Sresh SL, a super-lightweight e-bike that focuses on natural ride feel, silent motor support, balanced geometry, and customizable setup.

In this Propain Sresh SL Review, I go deep into everything you need to know before buying:

Full specs, build kits, and geometry

TQ HPR50 motor performance (60Nm, 350W peak)

Battery options (360Wh, 580Wh, 160Wh range extender = up to 740Wh)

How it climbs compared to full-power eMTBs

How it rides on trails, enduro lines, and bike parks

29er vs mullet setup – which is better?

Suspension performance with Propain Pro10 system + RockShox Vivid/Zeb

Weight, sizing, and who this bike is for

Value for money compared to Specialized Levo SL, Trek Fuel EXe, Orbea Rise, Amflow PL, and other lightweight eMTBs

🏔 Riding Impressions

Trail Riding: As a 29er, the Propain Sresh SL climbs efficiently, rolls over technical terrain with ease, and feels planted with excellent traction.
Enduro Riding: With 160/150mm travel and Pro10 suspension, it handles enduro-style descents, bike park drops, and technical lines surprisingly well for a lightweight bike.
Mullet vs 29: The 29 setup is stable, fast, and race-oriented. The mullet setup is more playful, agile, and easier in tight corners. Riders who want confidence should stick to 29, while playful riders will love the mullet.
Climbing: The TQ HPR50 shines on steep technical climbs with smooth power delivery, traction at low cadence, and silent operation.
Jumping: Longer wheelbase 29 setup gives more stability, while mullet setup feels more flickable.

⚡ TQ HPR50 Motor Review

Ultra-quiet “silent assassin” – no rattle, no noise on descents

60Nm torque & 350W peak – perfect balance for trail & enduro riding

Natural pedal stroke, best between 50–60 rpm cadence

No drag above limiter, almost no overrun

3 riding modes, simple display, easy-to-use remote

App connectivity for motor input vs rider input display

Ideal for riders who want an analog bike feel with e-assist

🔋 Battery Options & Range

360Wh (lightest)

580Wh (best balance, only +860g over 360Wh)

160Wh Range Extender (perfect for travel & longer rides)
➡️ Up to 740Wh total capacity, modular quick-release system.

⚖️ Weight & Build

Entry builds start at 18.2kg

My test bike: 21.4kg with Zeb, Vivid, alloy wheels, 580Wh battery, Schwalbe Ultra Soft Magic Mary Radial tires

Can be built sub-20kg if desired, but weight distribution & geometry feel better around 21kg

🧾 Models & Value

Starts at €5994 with 5 build options up to €10,500

Propain Bike Builder allows full customization (suspension, wheels, brakes, drivetrain, dropper, tires, cockpit)

Best value around €7000 build: Top-level suspension & brakes, alloy wheels, mechanical dropper

🙋 Who is the Propain Sresh SL For?

Riders who want a natural-feeling, silent lightweight eMTB

Trail and enduro riders who want a versatile e-bike that can climb, descend, and handle bike parks

Riders who prefer customizable builds & direct-to-consumer pricing

NOT for riders looking for full-power e-bikes with Bosch CX, Shimano EP801, Brose, or Avinox-style torque
