Steppenwolf Tycoon 2027

The Tycoon is Steppenwolf's new carbon enduro, revealed at Eurobike 2026 and reviving a model name from the Bavarian brand's 30 year history. It pairs a 170/170 mm carbon chassis with the full-power Avinox M2S system and an 800 Wh battery in the down tube, rolling exclusively on 29 inch wheels. The four-bar rear end mounts the shock diagonally between seat tube and top tube, driven by a lower link, yet still leaves room for a bottle inside the front triangle.Geometry is described as balanced rather than extreme. There is no small size, the range starting at Medium with 450 mm of reach and topping out at XL with 488 mm. A 64 degree head angle, 78 degree effective seat angle and a 450 mm chainstay across all three sizes sit alongside notably tall stack figures, giving STR ratios from 1.44 down to 1.37.Two builds are planned. The Tycoon 11 at 9,999 euro runs Fox Factory suspension, DT Swiss HXC 1500 hybrid-carbon wheels, a SRAM X0 Transmission drivetrain and SRAM Maven Ultimate brakes. The Tycoon 10 at 7,999 euro swaps to a RockShox Zeb Ultimate fork and Vivid Air shock with SRAM GX Transmission and Maven Bronze brakes. Steppenwolf remains a dealer-only brand, with availability quoted as end of 2026 and described as not yet fully fixed.

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Descending

Slack 64° head angle, 170mm travel and a long 1275mm wheelbase — composed in the chunk, confident when it gets steep, and stable through fast corners.

Playfulness

More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.

Size balance

Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.83) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.

Technical climbing

Avinox M2S and a steep 78° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 1300W of peak power and 150Nm of torque — among the most powerful e-bike motors made.

Best suited toFast, steep, rough tracks — and riders who want maximum composure.

Rewards commitment; it should feel calmer as the speed rises.

Watch out forNot a flickable, playful bike — built to plough, not pop.

Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
