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

Beneath its deceptively normal-looking exterior, the Kathmandu Hybrid 45's Trapeze frame is full of clever touches. We included an 800Wh Bosch PowerTube battery inside the down tube, 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. And 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 of course, it's all safety-tested to the highest standards in our own in-house lab, so you know you're in safe hands.
