Kreidler Zaandam Eco

The 2020 Kreidler Zaandam Eco is a trekking bike that stands out for its solid spec and attractive value for money. The frame is made from 6061 aluminium and is designed for 28-inch wheels, giving the bike a robust yet lightweight construction with a total weight of 18 kg. The Suntour CR-8R suspension fork provides extra comfort on uneven roads.

The braking system consists of aluminium V-brakes, which, in combination with the 3-finger aluminium brake levers, deliver reliable braking performance. Gear changes are controlled by a Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub gear system, operated via a Shimano Nexus SL-7S31 twist shifter. This allows for easy and precise gear selection.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with an AXA Echo 15 LED front light, which provides a brightness of 15 lux, and an AXA Slim LED rear light with a parking light function, ensuring safety when cycling at night. The tyres are Kenda trekking tyres with reflective strips, fitted to Schürmann Airliner aluminium hollow-section rims. The Shimano DH-C3000 hub dynamo reliably supplies power to the lights.

Further features include a Selle Royal Rio saddle, mounted on a suspension-equipped Humpert SP3.0 aluminium seatpost, which further enhances riding comfort. The handlebars are made of steel and are 600 mm wide, whilst the angle-adjustable Promax MQ-565 stem is made of aluminium. The crankset is made of plastic-coated steel with 38 teeth, whilst the Shimano sprocket has 19 teeth. The drivetrain is powered by a KMC S1 chain.

The Kreidler Zaandam Eco is also fitted with practical SKS plastic mudguards and an Ursus aluminium side stand. The price for this model is 739 EUR, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious cyclists looking for a reliable and versatile trekking bike.
