A timeless design and loads of comfort as well as in the saddle as in terms of ergonomics are also high on your wishlist. Only if all these criteria have been fulfilled you start to enjoy your commuter bike - or even more: You consider yourself its proud owner. Since paved roads are all that you are planning to ride on, the tires shine with low rolling resistance - and the position on the bike blends efficiency with a superior view over the traffic - or on the countryside that you are pedalling through. Last but not least, a carrier is a must - be it for your bathing gear, a picknick basket or panniers for a tour that takes mutiple days.
NOBLE, COMFORTABLE AND FUNCTIOAL: GRANT YOURSELF A LITTLE EXTRA WITH WHEELER'S PREMIUM ACTIVITY-MODELS.
Fashionable, comfortable and nobly equipped: These are the attributes of Wheeler's «Premium Activity »-models. And it all starts with an aluminum frame of high quality offering a modern and appealing look. A Suntour suspension fork and Selle Royal's saddle deliver the right amount of comfort. Wheeler has not economized on the commuting equipment either: Both the kickstand and the carrier are from the Swiss company Pletscher. Like these, the SKS fenders and Busch&Müller's sensor-controlled light in combination with a hub dynamo are considered as state-of-the-art equipment. When it comes to the selection of components, the choice is up to you: Thanks to Shimano's proven «Deore» groupset, the «Operator 5.7» shines with an enormous choice of gears and powerful discbrakes. On the other hand, the «Operator 5.6» combines Shimano's internally-geared «Alfine» hub with a double-chainring crankset and light-weight V-brakes - resulting in a low-maintenance package with no less than 16 gears. Wheeler's «Premium Activity»-models get as close to the feeling of steering a luxury car without an engine as hardly any other bicycle.
BICYCLE-RELATED HIGH-TECH: THESE SENSOR-CONTROLLED LIGHTS SWITCH THEMSELVES ON - EVEN WHEN ROLLING THROUGH AN UNDERPASS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
IT'S THE CONTACT POINTS THAT MAKE A BICYCLE COMFORTABLE. WHEELER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS, PUTTING ERGONOMICALLY CUNNING ERGON-GRIPS ON ALL OF ITS «PREMIUM ACTIVITY»-MODELS.
NO REASON TO ECONOMIZE ON THE SADDLES EITHER: INSTEAD, BOTH THE MEN'S AND THE WOMEN'S MODELS GET ANATOMICALLY MATCHING QUALITY SADDLES FROM SELLE ROYAL.
