BH Bikes has launched the Atom+ NX SUV, an upgraded urban e-bike boasting a Bosch Performance Line CX motor with 100 Nm torque and a removable 800 Wh battery enabling up to 195 km range. This model significantly outpaces the standard Atom+ NX’s 145 km range and 90 Nm torque, targeting commuters needing extended daily coverage without frequent recharges. Riders benefit from its SUV-style enhancements like integrated suspension, making it suitable for mixed urban and light off-road use.
Company Background
BH Bikes, a Spanish manufacturer with decades in cycling, has built a strong position in the e-bike market through innovative integrations like the TS System for hidden batteries. The company expanded its NX family in October 2024 with the Atom+ NX, equipped with a Bosch Performance Line PX motor (90 Nm torque, 600 Wh battery, 145 km range), priced from €3,999.90. The NX lineup emphasizes urban hybrids with Bosch connectivity, positioning BH against brands like Specialized and Trek in Europe’s premium commuter segment.
The Atom+ NX SUV builds directly on this, amplifying power and endurance for longer routes. BH’s focus on Bosch partnerships ensures reliable, app-integrated systems, though details like pricing remain undisclosed, reflecting a pre-release strategy.

Power and Range Analysis
The Bosch Performance Line CX motor marks a clear upgrade from the PX in the standard Atom+ NX, delivering 100 Nm torque for superior hill-climbing in urban settings. This mid-drive system supports pedal-assist up to typical EU limits (around 25 km/h, though unconfirmed for SUV), prioritizing efficiency over raw speed. Paired with the 800 Wh battery—33% larger than the base model’s—the claimed 195 km range suits multi-day commutes or errands, assuming moderate assist and flat terrain.
However, real-world tests are absent, and factors like rider weight or headwinds could reduce this figure. The removable battery aids charging convenience, a standard in BH’s NX line.
Suspension and Urban Versatility
Designed as an SUV-style e-bike, the Atom+ NX SUV features a city hybrid alloy frame with 120 mm central suspension, improving comfort over city potholes compared to the base model’s 100 mm SR Suntour fork. This setup balances urban commuting with light gravel paths, though tire and brake specs are pending—critical for wet-weather safety.
Bosch eBike Flow app integration allows mode customization, route planning, and ride data monitoring, enhancing usability. Included a digital lock and tracking address to effectively address urban theft risks.
Build and Accessories
Like its siblings, the SUV likely includes mudguards, a rack, lights, and a kickstand, though not explicitly confirmed. The alloy frame maintains a low center of gravity for stability, especially when loaded. Unanswered questions persist: max payload, wheel size, and gearing, which could limit cargo or speed appeal.
Competitor Comparison
| Model | Motor Torque | Battery/Range | Price (Base) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BH Atom+ NX SUV | 100 Nm | 800 Wh / 195 km | Not announced |
| BH Atom+ NX (2024) | 90 Nm | 600 Wh / 145 km | €3,999 |
| Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 | ~50 Nm (SL 1.2) | 320 Wh / ~130 km | ~€4,000 |
| Trek Allant+ 9.9S | 85 Nm (TQ HPR50) | 630 Wh / ~150 km | ~€6,000 |
The Atom+ NX SUV leads in range, outpacing the lighter Specialized Vado while matching BH’s own base model in price positioning. Trek offers premium torque but at higher cost; SUV’s Bosch CX edges lighter motors in power delivery.
Verdict
The BH Atom+ NX SUV stands out for commuters demanding 195 km range and 100 Nm torque in an urban-SUV package, ideal for riders covering 50+ km daily across mixed surfaces. It excels over the base NX for endurance but needs confirmed tires, brakes, pricing, and payload to fully compete—watch for 2026 updates. Best for practical urban explorers prioritizing battery life over confirmed high-end components.
