Excelsior Swan-Retro FT Alu Diamant

The Excelsior Swan-Retro FT Alu Diamant, launched in 2024, is a stylish and functional bicycle suitable for both everyday use and leisurely rides. Priced at 679 EUR, this model offers solid specifications and an attractive design. The frame is made of aluminium in a diamond shape and has a frame height of 55 cm, ensuring a robust yet lightweight construction. The maximum load capacity is 120 kg, whilst the bike itself weighs 18 kg.

The braking system comprises PROMAX “TX123” V-brakes at both the front and rear, complemented by aluminium brake levers. The 7-speed SHIMANO “Nexus” RBN gear system offers reliable and easy gear changes, operated via the SHIMANO “Nexus” gear lever. The unicrown fork ensures stable steering and contributes to the bike’s overall aesthetics.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with the CONTEC “Retro Classic” LED front light and the CONTEC “TL-135” rear light with parking light function. Power is generated by the SHIMANO “DH-C3000-3N-NT” hub dynamo, which is integrated into the front wheel hub. The MARWI “SP-822” pedals are made of plastic, which helps to keep the weight down.

The drivetrain comprises a BSA 122.5 mm bottom bracket and a BÜCHEL aluminium/steel crankset with a 38-tooth chainring, using a KMC chain. The steel Moon Cruiser handlebars, 600 mm wide, and the HERRMANS “Ergo” grips ensure comfort and control. The stem has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 180 mm.

The SCHÜRMANN “YAK19” hollow-section rims, together with the Vee Rubber “No. 447” tyres in size 50-622 with reflective strips, offer a good balance between stability and ride comfort. The front hub is fitted with the SHIMANO “DH-C3000-3N-NT” hub dynamo and the rear hub with the SHIMANO “Nexus” 7-speed RBN. Stainless steel spokes complete the wheelset.

The SELLE BASSANO gel saddle with pressure springs offers additional comfort, whilst the aluminium seatpost has a diameter of 27.2 mm and a length of 300 mm. Steel mudguards from BÜCHEL with spoilers, as well as a HERRMANS chain guard, provide protection against dirt and water. The MASSLOAD side stand makes it easy to park the bike. The painted tubular luggage rack with expander and spring-loaded flap offers practical transport options.

All in all, the Excelsior Swan-Retro FT Alu Diamant is a well-equipped bike that impresses with its retro look and modern technology, making it ideal for style-conscious cyclists who value functionality.
