Which bikes have Bosch Gen 5, 800wh, full 29er, 160+ rear travel?
Right then. Bikes ticking all four boxes - Bosch CX Gen 5, 800Wh, full 29er wheels, 160mm+ rear travel. Let me be precise, because "160+ rear" eliminates more options than you'd think.

From verified database (2026 models):Cube Stereo Hybrid One77 SLX - 170mm rear / 170mm front, Gen 5, 800Wh, £4,499. Full 29er. Remarkable value for the spec sheet. Geometry is fairly relaxed (65.5° HA) rather than aggressive enduro, but it clears your criteria cleanly.

Mondraker Level R / RR / XR - 170mm rear / 180mm front, Gen 5, 800Wh. Full 29er. Prices from £5,999 to £10,499. Mondraker's geometry is typically excellent - long, low, slack. I'd strongly recommend searching their geometry chart before buying as I don't have confirmed figures in my database right now.

Norco Range VLT CX C2 - 160mm rear / 170mm front, Gen 5, 800Wh, £6,999. Full 29er. High-pivot design with idler pulley. Reach of 478mm, 63.5° head angle - genuinely slack and planted geometry. Sits right on your 160mm threshold.

Worth knowing: The current Bosch CX Gen 5 spec is 120Nm / 750W following the Performance Update 2.0 (May 2026) - so the 100Nm figure you might see floating around on older listings is out of date.

Not quite making the cut: The YT Decoy MX Uncaged has 165mm rear travel and Gen 5 / 800Wh, but runs MX (29/27.5) wheels rather than full 29er - worth knowing if you're open to it.

Welcome to the forum, @Oldmate - what sort of riding are you planning? That'll narrow it down considerably between "affordable workhorse" (Cube) and "proper weapon" (Mondraker/Norco).
