Bergamont Horizon N8 CB Amsterdam

The "Horizon N8 CB Amsterdam" model from Bergamont, released in 2022, offers a solid specification at a price of 899 EUR. The bike’s frame is made from 28" lite AL-6061 tubing, which contributes to its stability and lightness. With a total weight of 17 kg and a maximum load capacity of 130 kg, the bike is both robust and light enough for everyday use.

Braking performance is provided by the Shimano BR-T4000 V-brakes, which, in combination with the Tektro CL-530RS brake levers, ensure reliable and safe deceleration. Gear changes are handled by the Shimano Nexus SL-C6000 8-speed Revo shifter, which offers precise and easy shifting performance.

The Suntour NEX P fork, with 63 mm of travel and adjustable preload, ensures additional comfort on uneven roads. The lighting comprises an Axa Compactline front light with a 20 lux LED and parking light function, as well as a Trelock LS613 Duo Flat rear light, also featuring an LED and parking light.

The bike is fitted with Trekking alloy pedals, which ensure good power transfer. The bottom bracket is a sealed cartridge BSA, ensuring durability and low maintenance. The crankset consists of an Alloy City crank with 38 teeth, whilst the rear sprocket is a Shimano unit with 19 teeth. Power is transmitted via a KMC Z610 chain with an anti-rust coating.

The BGM Comp handlebars, with a 33° backsweep, and the BGM Comfort Ergo grips ensure a comfortable and ergonomic hand position. The stem is a BGM Comp Vario with a clamp diameter of 25.4 mm. The headset is a BGM Comp, threaded, semi-integrated, 1 1/8".

The rims are BGM Comp X2 with CNC-machined sidewalls and 36 spokes. The tyres are Schwalbe Road Cruiser with Kevlarguard and reflective strips, size 47-622. The hubs consist of a Shimano Dynamo Hub DH-C3000 at the front and a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8 rear hub with a coaster brake.

The saddle is a Syncros Capilano Urban, mounted on a Post Moderne PM-780E suspension seatpost. Mudguards from SKS with stainless steel struts provide protection against dirt and water. A Hesling Cambio chain guard protects clothing from getting dirty from the chain. The kickstand is by Atran, and the luggage rack is a BGM Trekking alloy / Racktime Snapit 2.0 system with integrated mudguard mounts.

In summary, the Bergamont Horizon N8 CB Amsterdam offers a balanced combination of comfort, safety and functionality, making it ideal for both urban use and longer rides.
