T-900 ROADSTER ROHLOFF DISC

When you're touring, you want to ride the most reliable machine you can find - no muss, no fuss, and one that gives you the most return on investment for every pedal stroke.  

The T-900 is designed to do two things: give the rider the most advanced, functional and intuitive touring platform available, and make it zero maintenance, bombproof and unbreakable. That's always been how Germans buy their touring bikes, and the T-900 is an absolute marvel of German engineering, if not one of the the leading archetypes for all touring bikes.

Let's start with the Rohloff Speedhub - a 14-speed feat of engineering that will literally last you a lifetime. Seriously - these hubs are trusted by cyclists riding round the world who never need to do any maintenance or repair on them. They have a 530% gear range (translation: absolutely massive) and evenly-spaced gears for exact mathematical shifting on any terrain. Add the proven Gates CDX belt drive and you have 30,000 of kilometres to do before you need even need consider buying a new drivetrain. In a world where so much technology is built around planned-obsolescence, the T-900 is built for a lifetime. 

Unlike North American touring bikes, the T-900 uses a flat handlebar. There is a good reason for this. North American touring bikes use drop bars to offer multiple hand positions - important when you're riding all day. But drop handlebars require that you 'drop' your position, great for racing bikes but not necessary for touring. European touring bikes provide multi-position on a horizontal plane rather than a vertical plane; this makes all the difference. 

The T-900 is a prodigy of geometry and parts. The long wheelbase displaces weight over a longer footprint, providing stability, and the seat and head angles prioritize comfort, control and efficiency. The 28" wheels offer the perfect balance of acceleration and efficiency and are especially excellent for rough terrain. The Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes will slow and stop on the steepest hills on the rainiest days. Add the low-drag SP Dynamo PL-8 hub and super bright 70 LUX Busch & Muller dynamo lights and you're safe on those nights you arrive at camp late (great safety as daytime running lights too). Finally, the Tubus racks - an absolute cult-like brand in the touring world - round out the T-900 into the Delphic oracle of touring bikes.
