iLynx+ 2025
How current the bike is — newer chassis, motor and battery score higher. 10 = brand-new, 0 = legacy.
The BH iLynx+ is the full-power sibling to the lightweight iLynx+ SL, built around a carbon frame with 160 mm of Split Pivot travel front and rear on 29in wheels. It runs the Shimano EP801 motor (85 Nm) with a 540 Wh internal battery and, on most trims, the bundled XPro external bottle battery for 720 Wh total, so range can be traded for weight depending on how you set it up.
The Enduro range spans three carbon builds. The 9.7 at £7,899.90 is the value pick: a 170 mm FOX 38 Rhythm fork, Shimano XT mechanical mech with Deore shifters and MT520 four-piston brakes, though it ships as 540 Wh only without the XPro extender. The 9.8 at £8,699.90 steps up to a 160 mm FOX 38 Performance fork, full XT brakes and the 720 Wh battery package. The 9.9 Pro tops the line at £9,090.80.
Geometry is consistent and fairly classic-enduro rather than radical: a 65 degree head angle, 76 degree effective seat angle and notably short 440 mm chainstays across all four sizes (SM to XL), with reach running 430 to 492 mm. The short rear end and the BH battery layout are pitched at making a full-power bike handle more like a regular trail bike.
