MOUSTACHE Samedi 29 Game 160.8
The MOUSTACHE Samedi 29 Game 160.8 is a serious 29″ eMTB with 170mm travel front suspension, 160mm on the rear and ever ready for rough mountain trails and downhill use.
You’re a pro, you ride like one, or you just want the same high-tech gear! If that’s the case, then the GAME 160 is for you! Based on a totally new frame, MOUSTACHE are pushing the performance level of the Game family to the highest possible level. The Game 160.8 is equally at home on a challenging mountain trail as it is on an enduro stage! Geometry, kinematics and ultra-high-performance suspension assist like never before, and propel the rider to completely new heights!
First impressions are how sleek and agile the bike looks. Next, how well the battery integration works in combination with its semi-integrated motor. The Game 160.8 is indeed a very cool cat. Not only does it have looks to kill, but performance and component levels to match. It boasts variable thickness 6061 T4-T6 aluminium hydroformed tubes for ultimate strength yet remains lightweight.
Featuring a bespoke enduro design race geometry, the Game 160.8 is ready to blow the competition out of the water. The frame architecture offers one of the lowest centre of gravity frames on the market resulting in amazing efficiency.
Unique Combination of Components
Front suspension on the MOUSTACHE Samedi 29 Game 160.8 is taken care of via a set of superb 170mm FOX Float 38 Factory GRIP X2 forks with Kashima coating. The FOX Float’s offer a wide range of settings for both compression and rebound, with HSC/LSC/HSR and LSR.
On the rear is a tasty Fox Float X Factory shock with Kashima coating. The 2-position platform and dynamic control of both compression and rebound makes this shock something quite special. The hard anodized coating ensures low friction and dynamic rebound control for insane grip on the rear. As a result, the ride is perfectly balanced and stable. There’s lots of traction without any wallow, and zero bob when hard pedalling!
Steering is strong and precise with great handling thanks to a 780mm wide handlebar that’s both relatively lightweight and tough!
Sram GX AXS™ Transmission, 12-Speed with Sram AXS™ Pod Controller
Sram’s super cool wireless drivetrain features on the MOUSTACHE Samedi 29 Game 160.8 and uses proven AXS technology for crisp, clean changing at the touch of a button. The electronic shifting is precise and highly responsive. The Sram GX AXS™ Transmission offers up 12 gears across a wide range 10-52T cassette for immense hill climbing ability.
The Pod Controller from Sram features a “click and fire” two-button design. In addition, it can be mounted on the left or right of the bars, and comes in a subtle black finish for a sleek and clean cockpit.
Ultra powerful and progressive Shimano XT hydraulic disc 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes are super-responsive. Furthermore, they feel precise, powerful and enduring. There’s a 220mm rotor on the front for supreme stopping power and a 203mm rotor on the rear.
The MOUSTACHE Samedi 29 Game 160.8 is powered by Bosch’s Performance CX (85Nm) motor, the most powerful and highest torque in the Bosch range. The Game 160.8 adapts easily to all types of terrain and provides a sustained attack at all levels. The long range 750Wh Smart System battery ensures hours of fun on the downhills and trails, fitting neatly inside the frame.
The Bosch System Controller integrates nicely into the top tube with a Mini Remote on the bars providing access to all functions. In addition, a Bosch Purion 400 compact colour display sits neatly by the stem. It offers a wide range of metrics for those wanting to be in the know.
