A bike that you can just get on and ride with the minimum of fuss is one that's great to have around. That was our goal with the Touring Hybrid Comfort SLX, and we reckon we nailed it. Shimano's 5-speed hub gears are simple to use, durable and low maintenance... which makes them the perfect companion for Bosch's powerful PX motor and 800Wh battery. An air-sprung suspension fork makes light work of any road surface, and strong Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable performance in all weathers. With the Semi Integrated Carrier 2.0, lighting set, mudguards and kickstand, it's the ideal all-round two-wheeled companion.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />The Easy Entry version of our Touring Hybrid delivers what it promises: easy mounting and dismounting. But it sacrifices nothing to practicality and versatility. Our neat, sturdy Semi Integrated Carrier 2.0 makes it simple to carry what you need with you. There's an ACID chain guard, kickstand, full-length mudguards and lighting set, too. The powerful Bosch Performance PX motor and 800Wh PowerTube battery are so neatly integrated into the design, you'll barely notice they're there – apart from the extra help at the pedals, of course. And Efficient Comfort Geometry is designed around a 100mm-travel suspension fork for smooth and confidence-inspiring steering, even on rough roads.
