We finally received our CYC X1 Stealth mid-motor and immediately installed it in a bike. The installation of the “big brother” CYC X1 Pro works in the same way. Apart from the ring wrench and the Octalink nut, only standard tools (Allen key, screwdriver, cable tie) are required for installation. We have wrapped the cables with some spiral tubing and partially collected them with the elastic Velcro tape. Our Bottle Bob is highly recommended for mounting the battery.
We chose the small 32T chainring because we were able to achieve a good chainline with it. In principle, any standard chainring with a bolt circle of 104 mm can be fitted. Of course, the system is also compatible with our“Gearsensor” (shift sensor).
The X1 Stealth motor can be installed on bikes with BSA 68-83 mm bottom brackets and BB92 Pressfit bearings.

After about 3-4 hours, the installation was complete and we took the first test ride on a nearby dirt road. We reached a speed of 50-60 km/h – with a 36V 500Wh battery.
The X1 Stealth is not only a beast, it’s also a hell of a lot of fun. Our Fasterbikes team also tested the motor under load: We rode to a nearby reservoir: approx. 1400 meters in altitude and a distance of 18 km. The CYC X1 Stealth also mastered this without any problems.
