A commuter with rugged enough chops to handle off-road duties.
While the other Outland variants lean more into their wild side, the Cabot keeps things mostly prim and proper with the ability to dabble in some light off-roading. It’s equipped with a modest Suntour XCM32 suspension fork with 80 mm of travel and unique hybrid 27.5”x2.4” Schwalbe Hurricane tires that combine road and off-road tread.
We were impressed by the feel of the Outland Cabot RS’ robust 500W mid-drive motor. The bike uses a torque sensor to engage the motor and adapt to changes in pedal pressure, resulting in a natural-feeling ride with plenty of muscle behind it. The bike has speed, uphill power, and a responsive feel that just felt awesome!
The testers at Electric Bike Report evaluated many of the bike’s capabilities, but the Cabot RS’ range was perhaps its most exciting. iGo advertises a maximum range of up to 60 miles, but we were able to exceed that in its minimum-assist setting while also managing some significant elevation gain. Such great range means more time on the bike having fun before needing to stop and recharge.
There’s a lot more to discuss, so strap on your helmet and hit the paths with us in this iGo Outland Cabot RS review!
