S 180 2025
How current the bike is — newer chassis, motor and battery score higher. 10 = brand-new, 0 = legacy.
The Crestline S 180 Classic Edition is a US gravity eMTB built and sold in a single limited run of 150 units for model year 2025, priced from $9,999 USD (600Wh build) up to $10,299 USD (800Wh build). The high-modulus carbon frame (laid up by VIP Composites in Vietnam) runs 180mm front and 180mm rear, with the dual-link rear end tuned by Cascade Components. A flip chip on the lower link adjusts rear travel, and Crestline ships size-specific 27.5in (445mm chainstay) or 29in (455mm chainstay) rear triangles so each frame can run MX or full 29in wheels.
The drivetrain is built around the Gen 5 Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor with a removable high energy density battery in either 600Wh or 800Wh, plus compatibility with the Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender for up to 1050Wh total. The build is gravity-oriented throughout: a RockShox Zeb Ultimate 180mm fork, Vivid Air Ultimate 230 x 65 shock, SRAM Maven Silver brakes on 200mm HS2 rotors, a SRAM GX T-Type transmission, DT Swiss 1700 alloy wheels and Continental Kryptotal Enduro Soft tyres.
Geometry is firmly in DH-adjacent enduro territory: a 63.5 degree head angle across all three rider-height sizes (RH-2/RH-3/RH-4), reach of 450/475/500mm, and a fairly tall static 356mm bottom bracket. The middle RH-3 size is user-configurable between MX (1269mm wheelbase) and full 29in (1278mm wheelbase) at point of sale, while RH-2 is MX-only and RH-4 is 29in-only. Reach can be tuned plus or minus 5mm with an aftermarket reach-adjust headset on the straight 56mm head tube. The model is now sold out and discontinued; Crestline has since moved its current lineup on to DJI Avinox powered RS 181.2 framesets.
