Kalkhoff ENTICE 7.B ADVANCE+

The 2022 Kalkhoff ENTICE 7.B ADVANCE+ is a versatile e-bike that stands out thanks to its high-quality components and well-thought-out geometry. The IntegrAle 1.6 aluminium frame provides a solid foundation for the bike and works in harmony with the Suntour Mobie25 Air suspension fork, which features a lockout and a 15 mm thru-axle to ensure a comfortable ride on a variety of surfaces.

Reliable braking performance is provided by the Tektro M535 hydraulic disc brakes with 4-piston technology and 180 mm brake discs on both the front and rear wheels. The Shimano Deore XT Linkglide 11-speed drivetrain, combined with a Shimano Deore CS-M6100 cassette, enables precise gear changes and a wide gear range, making it ideal for a wide variety of terrain. The drivetrain is complemented by the Shimano CN-LG50 chain.

The bike is fitted with a Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor, which delivers powerful assistance with an output of 250 W and a torque of 85 Nm. The Bosch Kiox 300 colour display with Walk Assist function allows for intuitive operation and provides comprehensive information whilst riding.

Safety and visibility are ensured by the Supernova Mini 2 front light with high-beam function and the Spanninga Pimento rear light. The Rodi TRYP35 rims with double eyelets and Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres offer stability and traction, whilst the Shimano hubs (Alivio MT400 at the front and GRX RS470 at the rear) ensure reliable torque transmission.

Ergonomic components such as the Concept EX Riser handlebars, Ergon GA30 grips and an adjustable Concept EX stem contribute to a comfortable riding experience. The Fizik Terra Aidon saddle and the suspension-equipped G.2 bySchulz seatpost enhance comfort on longer rides. Practical details such as the MTB Flat aluminium pedals with reflectors, plastic mudguards with edge protection and the Racktime system rack round off the model’s specification.

With a geometry featuring a reach of 490 mm, a stack of 635 mm and a top tube length of 625 mm, the ENTICE 7.B ADVANCE+ offers balanced handling. The 69-degree head tube angle and 78-degree seat tube angle contribute to a sporty riding position, whilst the 465 mm chainstay length and 1224 mm wheelbase ensure stability.

The Kalkhoff ENTICE 7.B ADVANCE+ is priced at 5,249 EUR, which represents good value for money given its comprehensive specification and high-quality components.
