SUMMARY
The Delite, available in three colors and three sizes, has a model for just about anybody. And if the traditional frame shape isn't to your liking, check out the Homage - the step-through sibling to the Delite.
What's not to love here, really. Beautiful design that evokes bikes of the future, full suspension, speed and hi torque drive options, great colors and subtle branding. This is a bike that will take you as far as you want (especially with the available dual battery) or simply get you to work and back with fewer bumps sustained along the way.
Some models feature the new Rohloff E-14 electronic shifting.
Optional dual battery setup doubles the standard 500W Bosch battery to give you 80 to 120 miles of range depending on your terrain. Amazing!
HIGHLIGHTS
An over achiever for those seeking more comfort. The Delite mixes performance with comfort with its plush front and rear suspension mixed with tons of motor and drivetrain options.
Available in a step-through model. Check out the Homage for a step-through incarnation of the Delite.
Mountain bike version available. A full suspension mountain bike from Riese & Muller that's classy, performance oriented, and available with a Rohloff 14-speed internal hub.
Dual battery option, now standard. All Delite models come standard with dual 500 Wh Bosch PowerPack batteries for unbeatable range.
Available with Enviolo continuously variable transmission. No gear steps, just a smooth twist of the shifter to get your from high gear to low gear.
Delite GTS - Martin Riese and Heiko Müller created the Delite GTS as their dream bike - with Di2 electronic shifting from Shimano, Fox Factory Air Suspension and premium parts from head to tail.
Bosch Performance Speed motor goes to 28 mph. Speed along at an ungodly pace when you opt for the Bosch Performance Speed motor.
Bosch CX Drive offers the highest torque. Shy of getting super technical, just know that if you have steep hills to climb, the Bosch CX Drive will make you feel super human.
Available with 14-speed Rohloff E-14 internally geared hub. Get the very best in terms of gear range, low service, and crisp shifting, now with electronic integration with the Bosch motor system.
Full suspension means mega comfort. Comes standard with a front suspension fork (spec varies by model) for cushion and comfort.
Wait...a rear rack on a full suspension bike? Designed as a trekking bike in European terms, the Delite can handle dual panniers so you can travel anywhere, with anything aboard.
6-8 week delivery time. Assembly and shipping from Germany can take about this long.
