For the commuter who lives in a village around Béziers and wants to get to work while avoiding the main road, along vineyard tracks and dirt roads. It also doubles as a leisure bike at the weekend, without removing a thing.
An alloy frame designed to be kitted out. A mountain bike frame that also has to carry panniers needs solid mounting points: this one has rack and mudguard mounts built in from the factory, which avoids makeshift clamps on the seatstays. Alpha Platinum aluminium copes well with this dual use, and the RIB 2.0 battery comes out one-handed for charging at the office or at home.
| Alpha Platinum (Powerfly+ FS) | Alpha NEXT Platinum (Fuel+ EX 8) | OCLV Mountain (Rail+ 9.7 / 9.8) | |
| Level | Versatile aluminium, ready to be kitted out | Premium mountain bike aluminium | High-end mountain bike carbon |
| Construction | Integrated rack and mudguard mounts | Slimmer tubes, no utility role | OCLV lay-up focused on impact resistance |
| Reference bike | Powerfly+ FS 4 Equipped, 26.50 kg (M) | Fuel+ EX 8 | Rail+ 9.8, 23.98 kg (M) |
| What it means | Commutes and trails on the same bike | Sportier, nothing for carrying loads | Lighter, no urban kit |
Put simply: compared with the standard FS 4 (25.28 kg), the Equipped pack adds 1.22 kg on the scales, but also a rack, two mudguards and a kickstand fitted and adjusted at the factory. Buying these accessories afterwards costs workshop time and doesn't always give such a clean fit.
On a mixed tarmac and trail commute, the rear suspension does more than add comfort: it stops the rack and its load from banging over every rut. The mudguards, matched to the wheel size, keep you clean after a shower, which makes all the difference when you arrive at the office.
The Bosch CX assist stops at 25 km/h, as European regulations require for a 250 W rated motor; that is rarely a limitation on trails, more so on road sections. The wider Bontrager Commuter Comp saddle is designed for long spells in the saddle.
| Model | Motor / battery | Rear / front travel | Drivetrain | Weight (M) |
| Powerfly+ FS 4 | Bosch CX / 600 Wh | 120 / 130 mm | Shimano CUES 10-speed | 25.28 kg |
| Powerfly+ FS 4 Equipped | Bosch CX / 600 Wh | 120 / 130 mm | CUES 10-speed + rack | 26.50 kg |
| Powerfly+ FS 4 Equipped 800 Wh | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | 120 / 130 mm | CUES 10-speed + rack | 28.30 kg |
| Powerfly+ 4 Equipped 800 Wh (hardtail) | Bosch CX / 800 Wh | – / fork only | CUES 10-speed + rack | 27.20 kg |
Our take: compared with the bare FS 4 (25.28 kg), the Equipped weighs 1.22 kg more with all its commuting kit. If your commutes are long, the FS 4 Equipped 800 Wh (28.30 kg) goes bigger on the battery but weighs a further 1.80 kg.

LVR sizing advice For mixed commuting and trail use, go for the size that lets you put a foot down easily when you stop: with a loaded rack, standover matters. Size S runs 27.5 inch wheels, with mudguards to match that wheel size.

| How much load does the rack take? | It is aluminium and MIK-compatible; we can advise you on suitable panniers in store. |
| Can I remove the mudguards in summer? | Yes, they come off; the frame keeps its mounts so you can refit them in autumn. |
| Does the kickstand get in the way on the trail? | No, the Pletscher Comp Flex 18 folds up along the chainstay. |
| Where can I charge it at work? | The battery comes out of the frame (RIB 2.0) and charges from a standard socket. |
