Click on the button below to indicate your interests, and we'll follow up with you shortly to firm up the details and schedule production.
Start Your Build
- New Bosch Motors: The new 4th generation Bosch CX Drive (20mph) and Performance Speed (28mph) motors offer up to 340% pedal assistance, a maximum torque of 75 Nm, sporty start-up characteristics and pedalling rate (cadence) assistance up to 120 rpm.
- A Bike with Attitude and Multiple Abilities: an incredible commuter, to be sure, but also a bike that begs for weekend adventure. With full-suspension and a unique rear cargo rack, on- and off-road adventure beckons.
- Unmatched Range: New for 2020, the Superdelite is the integrated dual-battery incarnation of the Delite, offering 1000 Wh of battery capacity for long-range adventure. Less-frequent charging for daily commutes, and the ability to accomplish longer rides on a single charge is the result. All in a new frame-integrated design. The future is here!
- Smartphone Docking System: The optional Bosch Smartphone Hub transforms your smartphone into a display & communication system for intelligent navigation, fitness data and much more. Convenient and easy to operate via buttons on the handlebar or voice control, all while charging your phone while you ride.
- Superdelite GX Version Available: The GX upgrade adds a Fox air suspension fork with 140 mm travel, Schwalbe Rock Razor tires, a sporty Ergon saddle and an X-Fusion dropper seatpost.
- Rohloff Electronic Shifting: Go bigger by upgrading to a Gates Carbon Belt Drive paired with a Rohloff electronic shifting system. This low-maintenance, high-performance drivetrain offers incredible gear range, intelligent shifting and smooth operation.
- More Adventure, Please: The Superdelite Mountain model includes Fox suspension, a dropper seatpost, Magura MT-4 brakes, and Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires - available with Shimano derailleur or Rohloff E-14 drivetrains.
- Comfort Plus Control: Full-suspension makes a bike easier to manage at speed on all types of terrain. The Superdelite incorporates front and rear suspension to keep you in full control in all conditions. Comfort is an additional benefit of full suspension, and here comfort is enhanced by the upright riding position characteristic of every Delite model.
- Front & Rear Rack Available: Add extra cargo to your ride with a new front rack option, as well as a unique rear rack that allows the rear suspension swing arm to suspend the rider and cargo. Bikepackers take note!
- Three Frame Sizes: Let us help you determine the fit for you. Three frame sizes available: 47cm, 51cm and 56cm, to fit riders 5'5" – 6'9" (1.65 – 2.05m.)
- A Warranty You Can Trust: Riese & Müller's warranty is backed by The New Wheel True Warranty™ and upheld by our professional service department. Includes 5-year frame coverage, 2 years for electronics, and 2 years for all other components (some exceptions apply).

Adventure Awaits
The Superdelite offers the perfect bike trifecta: off-road explorer; super-commuting workhorse; and plush long-distance touring comfort. The result is something you'll daydream about riding every day of the week!
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. For the 2020 model year, the Delite evolves into a full family of several different models, with the new Superdelite model name applying to a new range of sleeker frame-integrated dual-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 Gen4 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....
