Origin

The Samedi 27 Xroad is Moustache’s most versatile trekking e-bike, first launched in 2016 and continuously refined. Built around the French brand’s signature philosophy — assembled in the Vosges region of France from a Golbey facility near Épinal — the Xroad fits a powerful Bosch mid-drive, a proper suspension fork, and a suspended seatpost into an everyday commuter frame. The Open frame variant with a low step-over caters to riders who value easy mounting.

The verdict

+Strengths
  • Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm delivers confident power on hills and headwinds
  • Dual compliance (fork + seatpost) makes rough roads genuinely comfortable
  • Open frame option extends accessibility without sacrificing stiffness
Weaknesses
  • At 26+ kg, heavier than lighter-motor trekking e-bikes
  • Purion 200 display is functional but compact — smaller screen than rivals
  • 100 mm fork travel is modest for anything beyond gravel paths
