Metropolitan

The Metropolitan consequently combines several elements of reduced maintenance into a city and commuting bike concept.

The belt drive system avoids greasy pants and increases the drivetrain´s lifetime up to 20.000km at the same time. The VBA System allows simple adjustment of the drive system in any direction for optimal belt tension and belt line.

The integrated rack with Snap-IT® adapters reduces the number of bolts by 30% providing lower weight, increased stiffness and increased lifetime. While the adapters allow mounting any bag and accessories
from the Racktime series, the rear light cable runs inside the rack tube for maximum protection.

The Ergo-Stop handlebar stop protects frame and cables from damage, while its ergonomic positioning eliminates the risk of injuries for knees and legs.
