The 2023 Hercules Intero Pro I-12 is a high-quality e-trekking bike that impresses with its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The frame is made from R9-series aluminium (AL 6061), which gives the bike a combination of stability and lightness. With a maximum load capacity of 135 kg and a kerb weight of 26 kg, it is suitable for a wide range of uses, from everyday journeys to longer tours.
The bike is fitted with a powerful GX Ultimate Pro FIT motor, which delivers 250 watts and a torque of 95 Nm. This provides powerful assistance across a variety of terrains. The FIT Intube battery, with a capacity of 630 Wh, ensures an impressive range, whilst the Fit Display Comfort offers user-friendly control of the electric assistance.
Safety and control are ensured by Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes. At the front, the model is fitted with the Shimano MT410 brake and a 180 mm brake disc, whilst at the rear, the Shimano MT400 brake is used with a 160 mm brake disc. The Shimano BL-MT402 brake levers guarantee reliable and precise braking performance.
The Intero Pro I-12’s gear system consists of a Shimano Deore XT RD-M8100, which offers 12 gears. The Shimano Deore SL-M6100 shifter ensures smooth gear changes. The combination of the SR Suntour NEX-E25 HLO fork with 63 mm of travel and an adjustable lockout ensures comfort on uneven terrain.
The bike is also fitted with high-quality components such as the Selle Bassano Volare Icon XL saddle, a Kalloy SP-383 seatpost with 45 mm of travel, and Schwalbe Energizer Plus tyres, which provide additional comfort and safety. The i-Rack system luggage rack with spring-loaded flap and the ABUS IT1 battery lock with XPlus cylinder offer practical solutions for transport and security.
The package is rounded off by LED lighting systems: a Hercules FH 100 front light with up to 100 lux and a Busch & Müller Toplight 2C rear light. Priced at 4,199 euros, the Hercules Intero Pro I-12 offers a comprehensive range of features that impress both technically and functionally.
