Test du Trek Allant+ 6 : laid et tout-terrain

Hi everyone, we are with the Trek Allant Plus 6, it is a very beautiful bike, owner's tour. This is the low step version that we use, it has an open frame, a Bosch Performance Line CX engine. What to say about this bike if it is only first-hand when we look at it, we say to ourselves: "hey, it's pretty disgraceful". But in fact, when we observe it a little more in detail, we start to find it pretty.

That's why I named this design "Jolet" because it's both pretty and very ugly. On the negative points that we can take away, the battery that comes out of the frame, we could have expected a little better. The green color like that, gives a little utility side to the whole. So it's a tool. So the mudguards, like that, it looks like they're made of metal, but in fact not at all. It's lacquered plastic, which means it's

lighter so that's good and then it can support some small deformations and it takes its original shape so it's rather a good idea for the rest we

We are really on the very very beautiful work with a Sun Tour hydraulic fork that we can obviously lock if we don't like the suspended side. A Shimano Deore transmission system. At Shimano, it's medium-high-end, so it's rather, it's rather qualitative. An engine in the Bosch Performance Line CX pedal, which is the top of what we find at Bosch. This is the most pettiest engine at Bosch.

So it's a 250 watt engine in the crankcase, as usual, and announced 85 Nm of torque, which is colossal! So, I didn't feel them when using them. I don't know if it's because we're still in the presence of a civilized bike, but it's always useful that I didn't feel them at all. The assistance is there, very frank, but it's not either ... you don't go in reverse at each acceleration, which is also preferable.

when you think about it. Frankly, for everyday life in the city, with the Parisian pavements, the sidewalks, etc. it's no problem. It is still quite sporty. Already because the handlebar is straight. So it's not flat, because we see that there is a little depression here, but it is straight. Which means that you have a lot more control.

and despite the weight of the bike which is 23 kg you can easily lift the front wheel to pass obstacles etc. So it's really a bike that offers, despite appearances, a rather dynamic driving mode. We have Shimano hydraulic brakes which are very very very very very efficient.

Here, for example, I lifted the rear wheel. I came to think that the hydraulic fork was maybe there less to remove the roughness than to take the braking. The tires too, we are confident. Frankly, we can ride anything with it. The tires are G1 horses, so totally all the way. Sometimes I wonder if

I'm not in the presence of a VTT, simply. That is to say that we are not straight like on a Dutch bike, as we were for example on the Moto2 that we tried in the previous test. It reconciled me with bikes like that. You know, on the different tests that I have been able to do for Numerama, I have always said that I preferred bikes a little more sporty, etc. But there, frankly, we are fine. It's like we were actually riding with a kind of SUV.

It's quite heavy. In fact, it weighs 23 kg in the version with the 545 Wh battery, knowing that there is also a 725 Wh battery. Obviously, it affects the price. So this bike in its 545 Wh version is available for 3,899 € TTC.

We will round to 3,900 euros. But honestly, it's worth it. And it's worth it even more when you see, come closer Thomas, the Kiox 300 system. I hold the button down.

It's a little "pupioute" to say that the bike is locked. So in fact, this e-lock is completely managed by the Bosch engine plus the cockpit. And you can either use your smartphone to unlock it, or the screen. That is to say that you start with the Kiox 300 screen and when you clip it on the handlebar, it acts as a key. And so it will unlock the bike. We can go from one page to the other like that. So you see the autonomy in the different modes, the remaining autonomy.

the average speed, the max speed, the altitude, the elevation, etc. We have everything. And this screen also uses GPS. However, you have to start the navigation from the application. Me, on this mode, it works, but I had some little cuts. The map doesn't show anymore.

while the phone is still in guide mode. The accessories are from Bontrager. I like to say "Bontrager" but it's written "Bontrager", I don't know how to say it. I read "Bontrager". Small downside maybe, on the sound that I find a little bit cheap. We have the small MiC compatible trunk door. It is at the back.

I know that when I drive the rear boot, I'm not really confident. I would have preferred that it was at the front, but on the other hand, for balance, since at the front we already have the fork which adds a little weight, it's not a bad idea either. The ideal would have been to have the rear boot and a potential front boot,

but you can't have everything in one. The Bosch assistance system is very well made. There are four modes: Eco, Tour+, Sport and Turbo. The Sport mode, which I use mainly, has about 50 km of autonomy.

which is in the good average. If you go down in a turn, you will have 80 km. So there we are really very very good. It's there, it's reliable, it's available and it's right when you need it. Personally, that's all I ask for a bike. Front and rear lights integrated of course. At the speed level, I did not specify it but it's a 10-speed derailleur so it leaves a lot of room. Possibilities, that's interesting too. So obviously to remove the battery but if you have

a very big house and you like to have your bike in your living room, you can also recharge the battery directly in the frame. That's it for this Trek Allant+6 test.
