Simplon SILKCARBON TQ – Rohloff R14 – Men´s Carbon Electric Trekking Bike – 2023 – Shady Grey Matt/ Black Matt

Over hill, dale, cobblestones and asphalt

With the Silkcarbon TQ you make both asphalt roads and dirt roads unsafe. The carbon frame contributes just like the drive unit to the low bike weight. The light support of the extremely quiet HPR50 mid-motor from TQ guarantee natural driving feel. The patented drive unit integrates harmoniously and barely visible in the bike design and is so quiet that you hardly notice it acoustically.

In terms of performance, the support is clearly noticeable – allowing even challenging terrain to be explored with ease on the trekking bike. The design is elegant and urban: the clean look is enhanced by the special cable routing through the inside of the frame.

Technologies of the Simplon SilkCarbon TQ

All cables run from the handlebars coming through the headset into the frame interior and provide a tidy appearance.

Super slim down tube with integrated 360Wh battery.

An integrated system provides balanced damping of the chassis – through filigree VIBREX® seat stays, seat post with VIBREX® technology and a flattened top tube. Look forward to excellent road holding and ultimate riding comfort!

The Simplon specific hot-melt process minimizes the amount of resin in the fiber composite. The carbon fibers are directly impregnated with the epoxy resin without additional solvents. The lower resin content saves weight, the balanced matrix ensures high stiffness and homogeneous quality.

The Silkcarbon TQ has an opening in the right seat stay, allowing the use of a belt drive. This significantly reduces maintenance and significantly increases the longevity compared to the conventional chain.
