IMPALA

 

 

The Impala is the absolute classic Dutch roadster, but equipped to a very contemporary specification.

It has a steel frame, which although a little heavier than aluminium, makes for a more comfortable ride. It is our belief that steel is more durable in the long run and therefore more suitable for this kind of bike. Day to day riders love their Impalas for the robust steel mudguards and stainless steel handlebars and wheels. Heavy duty racks and thicker gauge spokes on the rear wheel means you can carry just about anything on the back of this model! These racks are also impressive in that they can carry a BoBike childseat AND panniers - pretty much unique, in our experience.

Other features to note are the fully automatic lights: a front wheel hub dynamo and rear battery light, and is available in larger sizes in both mens and womens for giants!

  • Sturdy steel-frame city bike with a very comfortable sitting position thanks to the unique 65 degree geometry.
  • Relaxed, shock-free cycling thanks to the adjustable suspended seat post.
  • Can be set to the ideal riding position with the infinitely adjustable handlebar stem.
  • Cycle safely in the dark with the smooth running hub dynamo.
  • The rear carrier is extended and strong enough for extra heavy loads.
  • Available with a 7-Speed Shimano Nexus hub.
  • Made in The Netherlands.
RRP = $1,850 *Price may vary depending on local freight & bike shop service charges.
