Pathlite:ON 7 step-through

Iridium Flatbar

Handlebar

The handlebar and stem are where your hands steer the bike. Their width and length set how upright or stretched out you sit.

Büchel Shiny 40 LED Front Light

Headlight

The headlight lets you see the road and be seen. Fitted to the bike, it runs from the bike's battery or its own.

SR Royal Essenza+

Saddle

The saddle and seatpost carry your weight. The height of the seatpost sets your pedalling position.

Canyon Pathlite:ON Step-Through

Frame

The frame is the bike's backbone: every other part is fixed to it. Its material and shape decide its weight and how it feels to ride.

SR Suntour XCM34 BOOST

Fork

The fork holds the front wheel. A suspension fork absorbs bumps at the front; its travel is how far it can compress.

Shimano MT200

Brakes

Brakes slow the bike. Disc brakes squeeze a rotor fixed to the wheel hub; rim brakes squeeze the wheel rim itself.

Shimano CUES 10/11-speed

Drivetrain

The drivetrain turns your pedalling into motion: the cranks, the chain, the cassette and the derailleur that changes gear.

Maxxis Crossmark II Reflexstrip Clincher

Tyres

Tyres are the bike's only contact with the ground. Their width and tread decide grip, comfort and rolling speed.

Bosch Performance Line

Motor

The motor adds its power to the rider's effort. It sits either at the cranks or in the rear wheel hub; its torque, in newton-metres, tells how hard it can push on a climb.

Bosch PowerTube

Battery

The battery stores the energy the motor uses. Its capacity is given in watt-hours (Wh); how far it lasts depends on the rider, the terrain and the assist level.
