THE FOLLOWING CALCULATION WILL HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT BIKE FRAME SIZE AND SADDLE HEIGHT:

Road/Gravel Inside leg x 0,66 = Frame size in cm
MTB Size S: 155 – 172 cm body height
Size M: 173 – 182 cm body height
Size L: 183 – 192 cm body height
Size XL: >192 cm body height
Fitness
or
Inside leg x 0,61 = Frame size in cm
Inside leg x 0,24 = Frame size in inches
Hybrid/Touring
or
Inside leg x 0,61 = Frame size in cm
Inside leg x 0,24 = Frame size in inches
Inside leg x 0,885 = Saddle height on all bikes

If you are exactly between two sizes, you'll have the choice: Choose the smaller frame if you prefer a "racing position" and the bigger frame if you prefer a more comfortable "touring position".

See our video step-by-step instructions on how to determine your frame size. We'll explain you how to easily measure shoulder width, inside leg length and arm length yourself.

BACKROAD AL Apex 1x11

Colour:

Size:

Bike kam gut verpackt bei mir an und alle Teile zur Montage waren vorhanden.

Bei der Montage musste ich leider feststellen, dass die Qualität der Schrauben und Aufnahmen schlecht ist:

1. Montage der Sattelstütze: trotz Drehmoment hat sich das Gegengewinde rundgedreht. Nach Reklamation wurde schnell Ersatz gesendet. Damit alles ordentlich hält, empfehle ich allerdings die Verwendung einer minimal längeren Inbus.

2. Lenkerschraube: trotz Drehmoment hat sich 1 von 4 Schrauben rundgedreht.

Bin jetzt die ersten 400 km mit dem Bike gefahren (Asphalt, Schotter, Plastersteine und Wald). Soweit so gut.

Pros: Rollverhalten und Handling top, Sram Schaltung war gut eingestellt.

Cons: minderwertige Schrauben und Aufnahmen, Scheibenbremse hinten ganz schlecht eingestellt/Druckpunkt fast nicht vorhanden.

Neutral: Kundenservice zwecks Reklamation war schwer zu erreichen, aber die ET-Lieferung war promt.

Bezüglich der Auslieferung an den Kunden erwartet man, dass vor allem die Schaltgruppe und Bremsen top eingestellt werden. Leider hat mich Rose hier enttäuscht. Prüft also vor dem Kauf, wo die nächste (Partner)-Werkstatt liegt, oder fordert Kostenübernahme bei Rose …

Finde es schade dass im Lieferumfang der RWS Hebel zur Montage des Reifens nicht dabei ist. Vor allen dingen schickt die Konkurrenz alle benötigen Teile mit.

Top Fahrrad. Dass im Lieferumfang kein Werkzeug beiliegt finde ich jedoch schwach, auch im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz.

Einfach ein richtig geiles Rad. Mein erstes Gravel, das wie-für-mich-gemacht Fahrrad. Das Apex habe ich genommen, da es das einzig sofort lieferbare war. Das wäre nicht meine erste Wahl gewesen, dennoch bin ich vollauf zufrieden damit. Dazu wsr die Lieferung pünktlich, die Verpackung vorbildlich. Schön wäre es, wenn der Karton mit Pfand belegt wäre und zurück genommen würde, denn er ist sehr stabil und taugt für Wiederverwendung

    Category 2

    This category applies to bicycles and e-bikes* that meet the conditions of category 1 and are ridden on normal roads as well as in category 2 on unpaved roads and gravel paths with moderate inclines and descents. The tyres are in constant contact with the ground at average speed and they are only occasionally ridden over steps and drops of less than 15 cm. These conditions can lead to contact with uneven terrain and the tyre repeatedly losing contact with the ground. The intended use is, for example, recreational riding. You don’t require any special riding skills.

    Average speed 15 to 25 km/h

    Height of steps and drops: < 15 cm

    *E-Bikes = 250W 25km/h
