Hybrid AL e

The Hybrid AL e's awards include TechRadar's e-bike of the year 2020 and Cycling Weekly's Editor's Choice. This hybrid electric bike combines road bike efficiency with super-smooth electric assistance. One of the key features that sets our e-bikes apart from the most others is that they are almost indistinguishable from standard bikes. For instance, in terms of aesthetics and weight. In addition, with builds starting from just 13kgs, the Hybrid AL e can easily be ridden with the assistance off. Similarly, this makes them ideal for loading onto vehicles for day trips and other assorted adventures.

A confidence-inspiring upright ride position offers more comfort while providing commanding views of your surroundings and improved steering control. The option to fit wider tyres provides you with the ability to add a little adventure into your rides. Further versatility is also provided by the addition of mudguard and rack mounts, meaning that the Hybrid AL e is perfect for the daily commute, day trip or multi-day bike adventure.

Endurance SL e

Awarded Cycling Weekly's Editor's Choice of 2020, the Endurance SL e is our stealth e-road bike. It benefits from the same construction techniques and frame design as our Endurance SL series. Like its siblings, the carbon fibres are layered over an EPS inner-core system for complete structural consistency of the carbon throughout. At the same time eliminating any excess material on the inside of a frame. In layman's terms, this means we can build a stronger frame for less weight.

Thanks to the combination of the superlight carbon frameset and 3.5kg motor system, builds from just 11kgs are possible. The X35+ system is comprised of a 250W motor in the rear hub and a 250Wh Panasonic battery fully hidden within the downtube. Up to 250W of smooth assistance can be delivered to each pedal stroke with 3 power settings. Each level can easily be selected at the press of a button which is used to cycle through 3 power settings. A companion app is also available to enhance your e-bike experience. The app turns your smartphone into a high-tech GPS system with turn by turn navigation, range information and much more.

R872

The R872 picked up a Cycling Weekly's Editors Choice Award in late 2020. Manufactured from carbon fibre, it's lighter, stiffer, and more comfortable than comparable alloy bikes at a similar price point. Incorporated into the frame's design is all of the modern features you can expect to find on a high-end carbon frameset. Including internal cable routing for cleaner aesthetics and a full carbon fork with tapered steerer for enhanced stiffness and razor-sharp steering.

A sportive geometry offers a slightly more relaxed riding position. A position that's perfect for racking up the miles on those long days in the saddle. If you prefer your braking to be of the disc variety there's no need to despair for we also offer the R872 in a Disc option too.
