Two Hubcycle eMTBs equipped with the INNKR Oxygen Plus eDrive System completed the Elite course at the 2026 E-Bike WM für Jedermann in Ischgl, Austria, delivering a top-10 category finish together with valuable real-world system data.
THE CHALLENGE
Held on 5 September, the Elite race covered 44.7 kilometres between Ischgl and Galtür, with 1,290 metres of official elevation gain.
Elite is the event’s highest and most technically demanding course. Sustained climbs, steep and technical descents, loose surfaces and natural obstacles place considerable demands on both the rider and the complete eBike.
The course therefore provided a valuable opportunity to evaluate the INNKR Oxygen Plus System under sustained mountain-bike use.
RACE RESULT
Both riders completed the Elite race in under two hours according to the official timing results.
Both Hubcycle eMTBs were equipped with the complete INNKR Oxygen Plus eDrive System, including the mid-drive motor, battery, HMI, controls and system software.
The battery figures should not be interpreted as a direct efficiency comparison between the two riders. Rider weight, physical input, riding style, assistance use and race strategy all influence energy consumption.
They nevertheless provide useful real-world reference data from two bikes completing the same demanding course in the highest assistance mode.
COMPLETE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
A race result is never produced by the eDrive system alone. Rider ability, physical input and decision-making remain fundamental.
At the same time, the motor, battery, sensors, controls and software must operate together to provide predictable assistance across changing gradients, surfaces and riding conditions.
For the Hubcycle eMTB, the INNKR Oxygen Plus System was integrated and tuned around the requirements of the complete bike. Motor response, assistance characteristics, battery configuration, controls and system software were considered together rather than as separate components.
The result from Ischgl does not isolate or prove the performance of any single component. Instead, it provides a measurable real-world example of the rider, bike and complete eDrive system working together under demanding conditions.
