Speed pedelecs rewrite the rules of urban mobility, but the Kathmandu Hybrid 45 goes further by rewriting the rules for speed pedelecs. The Bosch CX motor, combined with an 800Wh battery and Kiox 500 display, puts the world at your feet. The combined power of motor, legs and lungs is transferred to the road via Shimano's 11-speed gears, an XT rear derailleur and an oversize 48T chainring. A Suntour Mobie36 air suspension fork smooths your passage on even rough city streets, while powerful Magura hydraulic disc brakes are equipped with ABS just like your car, to ensure you can always slow down and stop safely, whatever the weather. We fitted comfortable and grippy Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tyres in a 55mm width, plus full-length mudguards and a practical kickstand. And, of course, the sturdy Integrated Carrier IC 3.0 and included lighting system mean you're all set for any journey, any time.

Frame

Designed for comfort, versatility and durability, the Kathmandu Hybrid 45's frame incorporates an 800Wh Bosch PowerTube battery for the best-possible range. Efficient Comfort Geometry works exactly the way you'd expect it to, meaning you can pedal in comfort for miles and miles. The Integrated Carrier 3.0 is super-strong and stable as well as being integrated with the rear mudguard for an elegantly understated look that you'll love. It's the perfect way to add accessories and carry whatever you need with you. And it's all safety-tested in our own in-house lab to the highest standards, so you know you're in safe hands.
