Technology
Andros Stem
Adjust to fit
The Andros is our patented adjustable stem that lets you set your handlebars where you want—no tools, no fuss. In just seconds, you can set your riding position to long and low in a tough headwind, or upright and comfy for riding around town. You decide how you want to ride and the Andros makes your bike fit.
Shimano® Hydraulic Disc Brakes
All-weather stopping power
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful stopping power in all weather conditions with the touch of a finger.
Shimano® Alivio Shadow Derailleur
GEARED FOR THE CITY
For most cities, the resilient 9-speed Alivio Shadow derailleur is all you really need—with the added benefit of keeping everything tucked away for extra protection, which comes in handy when you need to transport your folded bike.
Bosch® Active Line Plus
CAREFREE RIDING
With a little more torque for smoother acceleration, the Bosch Active Line Plus drive unit can take you up to 25 km per hour (20 mph in the U.S.) and operates dependably—day in and day out. The new generation of the Active Line Plus is also 20% lighter and 25% smaller than the previous one, maintaining its excellent performance and low-levels of vibration while delivering an even quieter ride with less pedal resistance.
Bosch® PowerPack Battery
Feather-light powerhouse
This impressive high-energy, high-power cell clips on and off your bike. The best-in-class design charges fast—from zero—in only 2.5 to 3.5 hours, and lets you ride longer and further between charges. You’ll be impressed by its long lifespan, light weight, and ease of charging. PowerPacks are available in 300/400/500 Wh variants, so you can forget about range anxiety.
Bosch Purion Control Panel
COMPACT CONTROL CENTER
The on-board computer lets you switch between five different riding modes, and feeds you handy information like speed, battery level, and distance. It optimizes shifting actions and constantly updates you on the remaining range, just like a typical German car. Best of all, it’s now more compact and robust than ever.
Atlas V Rack
AN ULTRA-ROBUST RACK WITH GSDna
With structural cues from the heavy-duty Tern GSD, the new Atlas V Rack has been massively strengthened and increased in size, with a load capacity of 27 kg (59 lb). This reduces flex for more secure handling when the bike is loaded. Riding with your little one? Add a Thule Yepp Maxi or Dash® RM child seat—no adapters needed. The Atlas V Rack is also KLICKfix-compatible, and can hold panniers of different sizes—including the Bucketload Pannier, which was designed to fit every configuration of the Vektron.
