Image 5.B XXL

Kalkhoff Image 5.S XXL


Designed for a permissible total weight of up to 170 kg. Not only is the frame being developed to be more stable, components such as the brakes also have to be larger.

The Shimano drive also has sufficient torque at 60 Nm and thus ensures sufficient propulsion.
