    Our Take

    How To Order A Riese & Müller E-Bike

     

    Each Riese & Müller bike is assembled in their factory in Mühltal, Germany.

    When you place your order with us, you can customize virtually everything about your bike, including color, drivetrain, motor, battery capacity and more. Each Riese & Müller model has a range of accessory options to help you further dial in your ride.

     

    A Rich History

    First released in the late-1990s as a full-suspension (though not electric) bike, the Delite has been under constant production and regular revision ever since. The new Delite is the product of nearly 20 years of design and development. And for the 2020 model year, the Delite evolves into a full family of several different models, with the original Delite name applying to a new range of lighter and sleeker integrated-battery bikes.

    Fully Suspended Fun

    Suspension provides control (especially at speed), increases comfort, and also extends the lifespan of many components by reducing vibration-related wear and tear.

    Multiple Drivetrain Options

    We love all three drivetrain options available on the Delite models, from the classic and dependable Shimano XT 11-speed derailleur system; to the smooth and intuitive Enviolo continuously-variable drivetrain; to the state-of-the-art  Rohloff electronic transmission. The Rohloff Speedhub is a true engineering marvel,  with the Rohloff E-14 system offering unmatched reliability, the widest gear range possible, automatic downshifts at a stop, and perfect electronic integration with the Bosch motor system.  No-maintenance Gates Carbon belt drives come with all internal gear transmission models (both Vario/Enviolo and Rohloff.)

    Fourth Generation Motors from Bosch

    For the 2020 model year, all drivetrain options pair with either the new Bosch 4th Generation CX Drive (high-torque) or the new Performance High-Speed motor. The new moters are lighter, stronger, smoother and almost completely silent.

    GX Option Upgrades to Touchpoints & Suspension

    GX is a top-shelf option package including a Fox air suspension fork with 140 mm travel, Schwalbe Rock Razor tires that guarantee outstanding grip on all surfaces, especially when cornering on loose terrain. A sporty Ergon saddle and adjustable X-Fusion Manic seatpost make for perfect rides both off-road and on.

    Additional Model Options

    There are numerous models within the Delite family, all of which can be ordered through The New Wheel. The Homage, a step-through version of the Delite, offers the benefits of full-suspension while maintaining easy access and a more upright riding posture.

    All in All...

    It's hard not to love this bike, in any of its many incarnations. If you're looking for a bike that checks all the boxes and that will give you endless reasons to daydream about the weekends and about the ride to work, the Delite is sure to delite....
