A Look at What’s Next: The 2026 Mule Jäger SD

For 2026, Bakcou is expanding one of its most respected platforms with the release of the Mule Jäger SD; a bike that carries forward everything that made the original Jäger a standout, while introducing key updates riders have been asking for.

This is more than a refresh. It’s the next evolution of a true game-changer.

Built on the SD Platform

The Mule Jäger SD is part of Bakcou’s SD line, first introduced in 2025. That platform brought a more refined, rider-friendly approach to heavy duty eBikes. Starting with a sleek step-through frame design that improves accessibility without sacrificing strength and a new integrated display for a more seamless trip.

For riders who spend long days in the saddle or frequently load and unload gear, the SD frame delivers a more comfortable, practical experience while maintaining the durability the Mule lineup is known for.

Integrated Power, Extended Capability

At the core of the Mule Jäger SD is an integrated 52V 20Ah battery, cleanly built into the frame for a streamlined look and balanced ride feel. For riders who need more range, the bike is also compatible with Bakcou’s spare rack battery option, allowing you to extend your time in the field without changing how you ride.

This flexible power setup makes the Mule Jäger SD equally capable for short, aggressive rides or long days pushing deep into the backcountry.

Modular by Design

Utility has always been central to the Mule platform, and the Mule Jäger SD continues that tradition with Bakcou’s Modular Rack System. Designed to adapt as riders’ needs evolve, the system supports a wide range of add-ons, current and future, that allow the bike to be configured for different tasks, seasons, and riding styles.

It’s a platform built not just for today, but for what comes next.

What Makes a Jäger a Jäger

The original Mule Jäger changed the game when it launched, largely because of one defining feature: the German-engineered Rohloff Speedhub.

The Rohloff hub is what sets Jäger models apart. Known for its durability, precision, and sealed internal gearing, it delivers consistent performance in harsh conditions where traditional drivetrains struggle. Shifting is reliable under load, maintenance is minimal, and the system is built to withstand years of hard use in mud, dust, snow, and steep terrain.

That legacy carries directly into the Mule Jäger SD; because a Jäger wouldn’t be a Jäger without it.

Now Available in 24” and 26”

One of the most exciting updates for 2026 is size availability. For the first time ever, Bakcou is offering a Jäger model in both 24” and 26” wheel options.

This change came directly from rider feedback. Many riders wanted the Mule Jäger experience in a 24” configuration for improved fit, control, and confidence, especially when riding technical terrain or carrying heavy loads. With the Mule Jäger SD, that request is finally a reality.

Purposeful Style

The Mule Jäger SD will be available in two finishes:

  • Matte Gunmetal Grey

  • Bakcou Camo

Coming Sooner Than You Think

The 2026 Mule Jäger SD is set to launch before Q2, and we couldn’t be more excited. Built on a proven platform, refined through rider feedback, and powered by one of the most respected drivetrain systems in the world, this bike represents a major step forward for the Jäger lineup.

This one changes the game, again.
