Silkroad Xplore

The elite class of bicycles, the touring bikes, is placed a new crown: by the Silkroad Xplore. It guarantees a combination of maximal functioning, durability and perfect handling.

The Pinion transmission, a German development of designers who had previously been active in the transmission center of Porsche, is integrated in the Silkroad Xplore frame. For the first time the Pinion transmission is used in combination with a steel frame and a travel bike and thus is the ideal setting for worry-free cycling. With its 18 gears, it delivers a huge gear spectrum at an excellent gear stepping and thus an ideal foundation for long-distance touring. The central of the transmission provides a balanced weight and therefore perfect handling on the road.

Expected to be available from July 2012.
