The frame is made of sturdy steel and features a classic diamond shape with a frame height of 55 cm.

The braking system consists of PROMAX “TX123” V-brakes on both wheels, operated by PROMAX aluminium brake levers. These ensure reliable braking performance. The gear system is a 3-speed SHIMANO “Nexus” RBN, operated via a SHIMANO “Nexus” gear lever, which allows for easy handling and maintenance.
The unicrown fork contributes to the bike’s stability, whilst lighting is provided by the BÜCHEL “City Lux” LED front light and the BÜCHEL “Edge” rear light with parking light. The AXA “Duo” dynamo ensures a constant power supply to the lights.
The specification is complemented by MARWI “SP-877” plastic pedals, a BSA 122.5 mm bottom bracket and a steel crankset. Power is transmitted via a KMC chain, and the sprocket has 36 teeth. The steel Moon Cruiser handlebars, 600 mm wide, and the SELLE ROYAL grips offer comfort and control. The stem is an Eagle model with a diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 180 mm.
The aluminium box-section rims are fitted with Vee Rubber ‘447’ tyres in size 47-622, which feature reflective strips for improved visibility in the dark. The front hub is an aluminium Parallax and the rear hub is a SHIMANO “Nexus” 3-speed RBN. Zinc spokes contribute to the stability of the wheels.
The SELLE ROYAL “8965” saddle offers a comfortable riding position, supported by a steel seatpost measuring Ø 27.6 x 300 mm. The BÜCHEL steel mudguards with spoilers protect against dirt and water, whilst a plastic chain guard covers the chain. A MASSLOAD side stand provides stability when parked, and the luggage rack with two struts and a spring-loaded flap allows for the transport of smaller loads.
Overall, the Excelsior “Touring Diamant” is a well-designed bicycle that is suitable for everyday use in the city as well as for occasional tours.
