Our top-of-the-range SPEEDER comes with a lightweight aluminium frame that receives extra treatment for a carbon-look finish, and is equipped with a lightweight, vibration-absorbing carbon fork to complete the look. Throw in tyre clearance of up to 50 mm for added comfort, control and puncture resistance, a wide range 12-speed single chainring Apex drivetrain from SRAM and some powerful Tektro disc brakes and the SPEEDER 500 is ready for pretty much anything the urban and rural jungle can throw at it.

Fast, lightweight, stylish and versatile, the SPEEDER shares its genes with our road and gravel bike range and brings modern lines and design features to our all-day riding range. The geometry offers plenty of stability on and off the road, and the more upright and comfortable riding position makes even longer outings a breeze. Throw in tyre clearance for up to 50 mm tyres, for added comfort, grip and puncture protection, and you have yourself a highly versatile all-road bike for anything from commuting, touring and gravel track rides. The control-enhancing flat handlebars and powerful disc brakes make the SPEEDER ideal for real everyday riding. It perfectly blurs the lines between gravel, fitness, light offroad and city bike - a real jack of all trades.
