Kalkhoff ENTICE 1.B MOVE INTERNATIONAL

The "ENTICE 1.B MOVE INTERNATIONAL" model from Kalkhoff, launched in 2023, offers a well-thought-out combination of comfort and functionality at a price of 2599 EUR. The aluminium frame in the E-Comfort design ensures a robust yet lightweight construction that supports a maximum permissible weight of up to 130 kg. Safety is ensured by the Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, which deliver reliable braking performance. The 8-speed Shimano Acera derailleur, controlled by the Shimano Altus shifter, allows for precise and easy gear selection.

The SR Suntour NVX fork, with 100 mm of travel, is adjustable and provides comfort on uneven roads. The lighting comprises the Herrmans H-Black MR4 LED front light and the Herrmans H-Trace LED rear light, which ensure good visibility in low-light conditions. Power is provided by a Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 36 V, 250 W and a torque of 50 Nm, complemented by a 400 Wh Li-ion battery, which offers a reasonable range for everyday use. The Bosch Purion LCD display with Walk Assist allows for easy control and monitoring of the system.

Other features include MTB pedals with reflectors, an aluminium crankset, a Shimano HG200 cassette and a KMC X8 drivetrain. The aluminium sports handlebars and the 110 mm adjustable stem offer flexibility when adjusting your riding position. The aluminium rims, with a diameter of 25 mm, and Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres in size 54-584 ensure stability and grip on a variety of surfaces.

The Shimano TX505 hubs with quick-release mechanisms at the front and rear make maintenance easy. The Selle Royal TCM saddle and the Concept EX aluminium seatpost provide additional comfort for longer rides. Practical details such as plastic mudguards with edge protection and a MIK luggage rack round off the overall package. The bike’s geometry is thoughtfully designed, with a reach of 443 mm, a stack height of 695 mm, a seat tube angle of 80 degrees and a head tube angle of 70 degrees, resulting in a comfortable and stable riding position.
