Conway Cairon T 100 500

The 2021 Cairon T 100 500 from Conway is a versatile e-bike model which, at a price of 2499 EUR, represents an attractive option for anyone looking for a reliable and well-equipped bike. The bike’s frame is made of robust aluminium and is specifically designed for use with a third-generation Bosch mid-drive motor, which operates at a power output of 250 watts and a voltage of 36 volts. The integrated Bosch lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 500 Wh and provides sufficient range to tackle even longer distances with ease.

The bike’s maximum load capacity is 130 kg, making it suitable for heavier riders or for carrying extra luggage. The Cairon T 100 500 is fitted with the Shimano ‘Altus RD-M2000’ derailleur, which offers 9 gears and, in combination with the Shimano ‘HG200’ sprocket, enables precise gear selection. The brakes are also from Shimano – specifically the “BR-MT200” model – which, together with the 180 mm brake discs at the front and rear, ensures reliable braking performance.

Riding comfort is ensured by the RST “Blaze T” fork with 80 mm of travel, which effectively absorbs bumps in the road. The bike is fitted with Schwalbe “Energizer Active Plus” tyres, which feature reflective strips to ensure good visibility even in low light conditions. Lighting is provided by the Herrmans “MR GO 30” front light and the AXA “Blueline” LED rear light, both of which have been specially developed for e-bikes.

The bike’s handlebars are Ergotec “Low Riser” with a diameter of 31.8 mm and a width of 720 mm, which allow for a comfortable and ergonomic riding position. The adjustable Ergotec “Octopus” stem offers additional customisation options for the rider. The saddle is the SELLE ROYAL “Vivo Athletic Ergo” model, mounted on a Conway Patent seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm.

Other features include an Atran “Cummute Pro” luggage rack with a spring-loaded flap, plastic mudguards from SKS, an AXA “Bock XXL” lock and an aluminium kickstand from Ursus. The e-bike’s display is the Bosch “Intuvia”, which offers simple control via four assistance levels as well as a push-assist function. Overall, the Conway Cairon T 100 500 is a well-equipped e-bike that performs well both in the city and on longer rides.
