Fazua extends range with two new batteries and new Mode Control

Fazua is introducing three innovations for its Ride 60 system, two of which are new battery options that enable users to extend their rides – scheduled to come in June of 2025.

The third element in the upgrade package from the Ottobrunn-based drive manufacturer is a new Mode Control, which the brand states is “specifically designed for sporty riding”.

In addition to these hardware upgrades, the latest firmware update will reportedly make it even easier for Fazua Ring Controller users to activate the boost function.

More range, more ride time: Two new battery options

Starting in June, Fazua is upgrading its battery capacity from 430 Wh to 480 Wh, offering two versions: Fazua Energy 480 fixed and Fazua Energy 480 removable.

In sharing the news, the brand highlights, “Thanks to innovative cell technology, these batteries provide even more range while maintaining the same sleek design users expect.”

• Weighing 2.4 kg, both versions offer 50 Wh more capacity, increasing riding performance by more than 10%.
• The fixed version is permanently installed in the down tube and charges directly via the bike’s charging socket, whilst the removable version can be charged externally.
• Riders with existing Fazua Ride 60 bikes can have the new batteries retrofitted at a dealer.

Fazua Mode Control

Fazua now offers Mode Control as an alternative to the brand’s own Ring Control.

Here, the brand points out that “Mode Control is specifically designed for sporty mountain biking and boasts a durable construction that protects the internal components from water, mud, and dust.”

The new remote “combines a variety of functions” and seeks to “make it easy to operate and seamlessly integrate with other components on the handlebars”.

• Using the Mode Control, riders will be able to switch between different riding modes with a thumb-operated rocker lever.
• The boost function, which can be activated in all riding modes by a simple button press, provides instant power for challenging sections and keeps the focus where it belongs: on the trail.

Existing Fazua riders will be able to check system compatibility with their dealer or via the FAZUA Toolbox 2.23.1.

A special introductory offer will be available from FAZUA dealers starting in June. Interested riders can subscribe to the FAZUA newsletter at FAZUA.com and will be informed as soon as sales start.

Firmware update for Ring Control

Fazua also points out that it has “improved the functionality of its Ring Control”.

The announcement points to the latest version of the Fazua Toolbox, where:

• ‘Urban’ or ‘Mountainbike’ setting can be selected under the ‘Configuration’ menu item.
• In the ‘Mountainbike’ setting, a short right-click now activates the boost function from all riding modes.

This setting, which Fazua suggests is particularly useful for mountain bikers, can also be made by a Fazua specialist dealer.
