In 2021, Husqvarna will continue to rely on motors from Shimano. The range includes the brand-new EP8 for mountain bikes; E7000, E6100 and E5000 are reserved for trekking, all-round and city bikes. In addition to a thorough model update, the 2021 models have been given a new graphic appearance.

The Gran Tourer models for the 2021 season will be available from specialist dealers with completely revised frame geometries, with the rider now sitting much more upright. This increases riding comfort, especially on longer tours. Husqvarna is responding to the unbroken demand for gravel bikes with two models; we present the Gran Gravel 6 here. And for fans of classic step-through bikes with or without coaster brakes, there's the Eco City 2 CB.

Each Gran Tourer model is available as a women's or men's pedelec and with a wave frame. The new, powerful Shimano EP8 motor is located in the frame node for maximum motor power, while a 630 Wh battery provides sufficient range. Practical: The MIK-Click system allows bags or baskets to be securely and easily attached to the pannier rack.

The Eco City bikes provide an affordable introduction to the Husqvarna pedelec world. With the Eco City 2 you can choose between freewheel and coaster brake. The low step-through makes the pedelecs ideal unisex family bikes. Because the battery is not integrated into the frame tube, it is easier to remove for charging and storage at home - a big advantage for city bikes.
