Our Take
The video above is for a related 2021 Gazelle Ultimate - much of this review remains relevant to this model.
Our take on this new addition to the Gazelle Ultimate family?
A classic shape, married with quality components meets intuitive and simplified shifting for any rider.
The Ultimate comes in two internally geared models - the C8, featuring a Shimano geared hub - and the C380, featuring an Enviolo hub transmission. Both are great - and each design offers unique advantages.
An Active Line motor from Bosch is among the most quiet of mid-drive motors, and provides 50 Nm of torque, perfect for flat to slighlty hilly commutes or weekend rides.
Whenever we bring in a new model we always ask ourselves "who will get the most from this bike?"
The Ultimate C8 offers broad appeal, and will particularly attract thoser wanting comfort, convenience, lower maintenace and moderate power.
Like every Gazelle, the C8 carries a modicum of refinement and quality that will stand up to the demands of discriminating riders riding daily in varied conditions.
