Munich. Just in time for the bicycle-season BMW is
presenting its new types of BMW bikes. With a revised design concept
and modern technical components BMW again underlines its competence in
the bike segment.
As with all its motorized vehicles BMW aims to provide a special
driving experience with its bikes. With this generation, the
experience is provided especially through the enlarged 28 inch wheels,
new colour schemes and clever design features, next to the typical BMW
frame design, which is characterised by clear lines and the
distinctive “Bullneck”.
Uncompromising standards of design and modern technology.
The new version of the BMW Cruise Bike – the classic
within the BMW bicycle fleet – comes in 2016 either in Mineral White
or Aqua Pearl Blue. To increase the driving comfort even more and to
adapt the bike optimally to the body size, BMW added an extra frame
size to its portfolio.
S = approx. Body size 160 – 175 cm
M = approx. Body size 175 – 185 cm
L = approx. Body size 185 – 195 cm
With the typical BMW frame geometry made of lightweight aluminium,
the bike is flexible to move and therefore the perfect companion for a
city ride.
The Cruise M Bike stands out with a matt black
painting with rims and other contrasting elements in red, which are
inspired by the sporty-distinctive design style of the BMW M type.
Additionally the carbon made elements spacer and seat post underline
the sportiness of the Cruise M Bike, guaranteeing
special driving pleasures not only on straight paths but also on hilly grounds.
Clever, sustainable, electrified.
Another highlight of the BMW Bike Collection 2016 is the BMW
Cruise e-Bike. Beside the elegant paintwork in Frozen
Brilliant White Metallic and contrasting elements in black, what
convinces the most is the innovative drive of the e-Bike: The
Performance-Line drive, harmoniously integrated into the aluminium
frame and made by BOSCH, can be activated if required to support the
pedalling power. The electric motor equipped with a 400-Wh-battery,
which is significantly more powerful than its predecessor and
harmoniously integrated into the framework, stands out with typical
BMW driving behaviour and a maximum speed of the electric pedalling
assistant of 25 km/h. On the basis of up to 1000 sensor measurements
per second, the BMW Cruise e-Bike analyses the driver’s pedalling
power and identifies the optimal pedal assistance. The on-board
computer display shows appropriate shifting recommendations.
Beside the BMW Bike classics for adults, BMW is also offering special
driving pleasures for the youngest road users by presenting the
BMW Cruise Bike Junior. The sporty, robust bike with
matt black or shiny white frame and red saddle- and handlebar-details
is made from sturdy yet lightweight aluminium. Reflectors and a
6-speed grip gear change from Shimano ensure a safe ride. The seat
angle of the frame can be adapted to the size of the child – which is
why the bike “grows with the child” and therefore provides an even
longer driving pleasure.
The BMW Bike collection 2016 and the matching equipment will be
available as of April 2016 online at www.bmw-shop.de or at selected BMW retailer.
