The Boardman MTX-E 8.9 sits at the top of the MTX-E family, built for riders who want power, comfort and versatility across everything from towpaths to bridleways and long leisure loops. Its 6061 alloy frame is designed around a stable, confidence-inspiring riding position, helping you feel secure whether picking your way along uneven tracks or cruising comfortably on smoother terrain. Mounts for mudguards and a rack also make it adaptable for commuting or everyday use.

A major upgrade on this model is Shimano’s EP6 mid-drive system. Delivering up to 85Nm of torque, it offers noticeably stronger support on climbs and when accelerating from low speed, all while providing smooth, natural-feeling assistance. The 504Wh internal battery works with the EP6 to provide a practical range for all-day exploration, and the easy-to-read LCD display keeps you in control of assist levels with simple button inputs.

To complement the motor, the air-sprung Suntour MOBIE34-Boost fork brings 100mm of controlled travel, helping the front end track the terrain and reducing fatigue on longer outings. The dropper seat post adds extra confidence on rougher sections, letting you lower the saddle instantly for better control.

Shimano’s CUES 11-speed drivetrain uses LINKGLIDE technology, designed for durability and smooth shifting under load—ideal when the extra torque of a mid-drive motor is involved. With an 11–50T cassette, you’ve got a broad spread of gearing for steeper climbs and faster sections alike.

Braking comes from Shimano MT200 hydraulic units with 180/160mm rotors, giving predictable power in all weather conditions. Goodyear’s 50mm Connector tyres round out the package with a fast-rolling centre tread and grippier side knobs, offering comfort, stability and mixed-surface capability.

The Boardman MTX-E 8.9 blends thoughtful design and reliable components to bring you an e-bike that’s ready for adventure, everyday riding and everything in between.
