FALTER C 5.0

The 2021 FALTER C 5.0 model is a versatile and robust bicycle, suitable for both everyday city commuting and leisurely rides. Priced at 869 euros, it offers a good balance between performance and cost. The frame is made from 6061 aluminium, giving the bike a sturdy yet lightweight structure. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, whilst the bike itself weighs 18 kg, making it a stable companion.

The C 5.0 is fitted with high-quality components that ensure a comfortable riding experience. The Shimano AMT200 hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, supported by the Shimano BL-MT200 brake levers. The brake discs measure 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear, ensuring effective deceleration. The 8-speed Shimano Nexus hub gear system with coaster brake allows for simple and low-maintenance operation, which is particularly advantageous in urban traffic.

For added comfort, the bike is fitted with a Suntour suspension fork, which offers 63 mm of travel to absorb bumps in the road. Lighting is provided by Herrmans LED lights, powered by a hub dynamo, with the front light reaching a brightness of 35 LUX. The MATRIX crankset with 38 teeth and a 19-tooth sprocket, together with a KMC Z6 chain, ensure efficient power transmission.

The MATRIX handlebars are 630 mm wide and fitted with Herrmans DD36 grips, whilst the stem is angle-adjustable to allow for an optimal riding position. The hollow-section aluminium rims are fitted with Continental Ride City tyres, which provide additional safety in low-light conditions thanks to their reflective strips. The hubs are also by Shimano, with the front hub acting as a hub dynamo.

Additional features such as the Selle Royal Freeway saddle with a suspension seatpost, SKS mudguards, a Horn Catena 18 chain guard, a sturdy Ursus rear stand and an Atran Velo luggage rack with a spring-loaded flap round off the package. Overall, the FALTER C 5.0 is a well-thought-out choice for cyclists who value quality and functionality.
