Priced at 5,199 euros, it is aimed at discerning riders who value quality and safety. The bike’s frame is made from Integrale 0.6 aluminium and has a maximum load capacity of 170 kg, indicating a robust construction.

Safety is ensured by the Magura MTC ABS braking system, a hydraulic disc brake with two pistons that guarantees reliable braking performance in a variety of conditions. The gear system is a Shimano Nexus 5-speed system, which, together with the Shimano Nexus gear lever, enables simple and precise gear selection. The Suntour Mobie34 ABS Air fork, with 80 mm of travel and a 15 mm thru-axle, offers additional comfort and stability on uneven roads.

The bike is lit by the Herrmans H-Black MR8 LED front light and the Trelock COB Line LED rear light, which ensure good visibility in traffic. The Schwalbe Big Ben Plus tyres in size 55-622, together with the Rodi Cyclone rims and Niro spokes, ensure a stable and comfortable ride. Power is transmitted via the Gates Carbondrive CDX system, which is renowned for its durability and low maintenance.

The Bosch Performance Line Smart System motor, with an output of 250 W and a torque of 75 Nm, provides powerful assistance. The accompanying battery has a capacity of 625 Wh, providing sufficient power for long rides. Control is via the Bosch Intuvia 100 display with LED remote, which allows for intuitive operation.

The bike is also fitted with a comfortable Selle Royal Essenza Plus saddle and a suspension seatpost. The Concept EX Ergo Riser handlebars and the adjustable Concept EX stem, measuring 100 mm in length, contribute to an ergonomic riding position. Practical features such as the non-slip pedals with reflectors, the MIK HD luggage rack and the plastic mudguards with edge protection round off the specification. Overall, the Kalkhoff IMAGE 5.B ADVANCE+ ABS offers a well-thought-out package that is ideally suited to both everyday use and longer rides.
