The (design) highlights 

  • Low weight, optimum stiffness and stylish looks: Primarily responsible for that? The sophisticated design of the carbon frame on the Rapcon Pmax.
  • The dual battery option prolongs your time on the saddle: With an integrated 625-Wh and an external 500-Wh battery both in and on the down tube, extended tours are a breeze.
  • Mixed wheels with 29’’ in the front and 27.5’’ in the rear give the bike more agility and traction on uphill climbs – alongside better handling and more controlled cornering. Alternatively, you can also mount two 29-inchers thanks to ample clearance.
