Riese & Muller - Super Delite!
Riese & Muller have come a long way from their parents garage, a folding bicycle that started as a university project has now morphed into a high-tech, safety conscious, quality electric bicycle company.
The all new 2021 Super Delite is the only front and rear full-suspension utility bike out there with a hand-built frame and fully integrated rear rack, a rare combination in the electric bike market. Both the rider and load are fully suspended by the air-tuned active shock absorbers, meaning you don’t feel every bump and vibration on the road, a rarity in its class since it lets the Active Rear Suspension do all the absorbing. Its Control Technology comes with a carbon belt drive for ultra-smooth, essentially maintenance free riding, meaning no more oiling that regular bike chains demand. And since it’s a belt drive, this takes away the need for adjusting gears - instead the Super Delite is equipped with the Enviolo shifting system, making shifting automatic, meaning you can always pedal at the same pace, even up or downhill. Generally, belt drives are longer lasting (up to 50,000 miles!), cleaner, quieter, smoother, and of course…no more grease on your pants and ankle! Nuvinci/Enviolo has paired their shifting system with Bosch’s motor intelligence, the ultimate collab in ebike shifting and drivetrains. Which leads us to the motor…
Equipped with Bosch’s super small and powerful Performance Line CX Gen 4 is the top of the line motor for Ebikes. Compact, lightweight, and powerful, the Gen 4 comes with a multitude of impressive features including sophisticated sensors, added eMTB functions, up to 85 Nm torque, and 340% pedal assistance. What does this all mean? More control when you’re on the road and trail since you don’t have to switch riding modes; the motor responsibility more sensitively to the rider’s effort, especially in lower gears. More torque means faster acceleration, especially at low cadences, and makes uphill starts much easier. Extended boost helps you ride smoothly over roots, steps ands tones, even when going uphill, better able to maneuver with ease and agility on challenging roads and trails. It’s multi sensor concept takes more than 1,000 measurements per second, characterizing the Drive Unit by an extremely sensitive response. The 16-pin BLDC electric motor ensures the Drive Unit stays extremely efficient and maintenance free, even under continuous load. The 32-bit processor enables sensor signals to be processed at high speeds, offering eMTB riders the best possible support in all riding situations.

Bosch also provides The Intuvia Kiox Cockpit display which includes different training modes, heart rate monitors which can be linked via Bluetooth, equipped with scratch-resistant Gorilla glass, and it’s easily removable. The angle-adjustable stem of the cockpit can be adapted for a comfortable or sportier sitting position.
A plethora of safety options such as the Magura MT5 disc brakes, daytime running lights of the Supernova M99 Mini Pro-25 wide angle integrated front light and back brake lights will keep the road well lit at night so you can focus on your ride.
The first to implement Bosch’s DualBattery Technology, the Super Delite comes with two integrated easy-to-remove batteries measuring up to an industry leading 1250 Watt Hours, strategically placed at central points within the frame to prevent any noticeable effect on riding. It works by alternating batteries; the system tracks charge states of both batteries and switches between them when it detects a charge difference of five percent. Meaning that both batteries are used equally, which significantly prolongs their service life; you also have the option to use just one battery. Dual batteries means longer range and fewer charging breaks to keep you headed to your destination and beyond!
The Super Delite goes above and beyond the standards of an electric bicycle and does not disappoint in any aspect of design, safety, or performance.
