With a frame made of robust steel, comfortable flat bar and space for wide gravel tyres, it is easy to handle and comfortable on daily journeys over roads or gravel. The focus is on stability and comfort and, thanks to the integrated front luggage rack as well as additional mounting points, it is suitable for everything from spontaneous excursions to relaxed bikepacking tours.
