Algupära
Kross launched the Level Boost in 2019 as the electric version of its successful Level XC hardtail, leveraging the same aluminium superlite frame platform but integrating a Shimano Steps mid-drive. The name "Boost" references both the motor assistance and the wider 148mm Boost rear axle spacing adopted for the extra stiffness demanded by the added motor torque. It positioned Kross in the entry-to-mid e-MTB market at a time when Shimano Steps was establishing itself as the volume-e-MTB motor standard.

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Shimano Steps motor system is the most reliable and widely serviced e-MTB motor in Europe
- Integrated downtube battery gives cleaner weight distribution vs external rack batteries
- Level Boost 3.0 EP800 + RockShox fork delivers genuine performance e-MTB capability
−Nõrkused
- 500 Wh battery on Level Boost 1.0 is below the 630 Wh now considered standard for e-MTB
- SR Suntour XCM fork on the 1.0 is a meaningful limitation vs RockShox on upper builds
- Shimano E7000 motor lacks the newer EP800 compact design, adding frame bulk
