The Rucktritt model has the same reliable Shimano Alfine and Nexus 8-speed hub gear as the Silent, with the additional feature of a backpedal hub. As well as the backpedal braking, the bike is fitted with hydraulic rim breaks and the gears are operated via a comfortable twist grip on the handlebars.
Product Features
Elegant frame design
Delights the legs, pleases the eye.
The shape of the frame is reminiscent of a traditional roadster. And you’re guaranteed to reach your destination in comfort, thanks to its suspension fork and suspension seatpost. It powerfully assists you with a 500 Wh carrier battery in conjunction with the seamlessly integrated Bosch Performance Line motor. The low step-through ensures comfortable handling in urban traffic, while the integrated cabling accentuates its elegant appearance.
Transport baskets
Practical – a perfect look.
The perfectly fitting, optional baskets have been developed with a click system specifically for the Swing. Sturdy, weatherproof and with a sophisticated rattan look, they complete the image of a modern roadster. The front basket holding approximately 12 litres can be loaded with up to 5 kg. The carrier baskets can be fitted to the right, left or on both sides at the same time, like panniers. This leaves the carrier with MIK system free to be used for other things. Their large storage space of approx. 22 litres was designed to carry shopping bags each weighing up to 7 kg.
Easy to handle
You can rely on that.
The carbon belt drive offers a wonderfully smooth ride, at the same time being low-maintenance and reliable. Dirt and oil stains, as was the case with chain drives, are now a thing of the past. The twist shift grip and Magura hydraulic rim brakes guarantee comfortable and safe everyday cycling. And the standard Abus frame lock is just as reliable.
