Priced at 2499 EUR, the bike is positioned in the mid-range price segment and offers solid specifications for the price. The frame is made of aluminium, resulting in a total weight of 22 kg.

For added comfort, the bike features a suspension seat post. Plastic mudguards protect against splashes and dirt, whilst a side stand makes parking easy. A Trelock lock provides basic protection against theft. The aluminium luggage rack is fitted with an integrated battery that powers the Bosch Active Line Plus motor. The battery has a capacity of 500 Wh and weighs 2.6 kg. The Bosch Intuvia display offers a user-friendly interface for controlling the motor and displaying key riding information.
