Our products
e-bike
The term e-bike is the common name used to identify the latest generation bicycles equipped with an electric motor that assists pedaling, which is why they are also called pedal assisted bicycles (EPAC - Electric Pedal Assisted Cycle or Pedelec). The fundamental characteristic of these bicycles is the fact that the bicycle engine is activated only when pedaling, providing a "help" to the cyclist and consequently making its use much less tiring compared to a normal bike, especially useful in uphill sections and slope. Our store is certified by Bosch for eBike sale and assistance services
Mountain Bike
The mountain bike pe (MTB, acronym of Mountain / Trials Bike) is a bicycle structured so that it can move even outside paved roads, both uphill and downhill. It differs from other types of bicycles for the type of suspension (almost always depreciated), but not only: the mountain bike in fact mounts tires that are much wider and tessellated compared to a racing bicycle and allows it to easily adapt to more situations depending on of necessities. With small variations in terms of wheels, suspensions and chassis it can be used for both intensive and extreme sports and for the simplest ones to move in and out of the city.
Enduro
The Enduro is a discipline of MTB (mountain bike) that has taken hold in recent years, conquering the hearts of off-road cyclists for its philosophy that seems to embody the purest concept of Mountain Bike, based on special tests between descents and ascents. The routes are predominantly on the dirt road and can therefore present exposed stretches, rocks, fords and steep climbs and descents beyond competitions, a MTB created for these routes is used to enjoy the mountain in all its facets, from the most strenuous climbs to the most exciting descents, without getting off the bike.
racing bike
This type of bicycle is designed for road cycling, according to the rules established by the International Cycling Union (UCI) and it is from the birth of this medium that used to carry out competitions online or in stages over more or less long distances. Like the other product categories, racing bikes have evolved over time and in their components, becoming now true jewels of technology with the ability to be appreciated indifferently by both racers and amateurs thanks to its lightness characteristics, smoothness and speed.
City bike
City bikes (or city bikes) are probably the most widespread in the world and are designed for urban use, designed with a comfortable riding position, often have modest components and are not even equipped with a gearbox, which is why they tend to be among the cheapest models on the market. With the increase in urban cyclists, many companies have invested time and resources in order to create interesting city bike models with the intention of combining good basic components with an attractive design.
Accesories
For a lover of cycling, for long-time enthusiasts or for those who want to start cultivating a passion, the details are those that make the real difference in living the experiences. For these reasons in our store you can find a great selection of technical clothing, helmets and bicycle accessories of the best brands.
