The top range Birdy Rohloff is quite simply one of of the best folding bikes out there. You'll love the inherent simplicity of the Rohloff 14 speed hub gear with wide ratio's that allow you to tackle any terrain, the powerful hydraulic disc brakes which are so light to the touch and of course at it's heart the lightweight aluminium frame with front and rear suspension for an unparalleled comfortable ride. Add to this the ability to carry conventional panniers front and rear by utilising the front lowrider and rear racks respectively and you have a truly versatile folding bike that for many becomes the only bike they need.
We've enjoyed a long history with Riese und Muller and having witnessed the Birdy range of bikes develop over the last 20 years we can honestly say that the current Birdy range are the pinnacle of their evolution, offering the very best in contemporary bicycle technology with the classic fold that made them a winner from the beginning. If you want a bike that you can fold with ease, use for leisure as well as the daily commute and perhaps embark on a cross continental bicycle adventure, you need look no further than the Riese und Muller Birdy Rohloff!
Build Options
As well as a choice of colours, there are various options and accessories that can be configured with the Birdy at the time of purchase.
Stem - Sport or Comfort
We receive all our bikes with the 'Sport' stem which provides a slightly longer, sportier riding position more akin to the riding position on a ' conventional ' bicycle. If preferred we can exchange this at no extra cost for the 'Comfort' stem that provides a more upright riding position. Both stems are adjustable for height. If the Comfort stem is your preferred option simply let us know at the time of placing the order and we'll undertake this for you.
Additional Accessory Options
Carrier Rack - Rear
Rear carrier suitable for use with side mounted panniers
Lowrider Rack - Front
Front carrier rack suitable for use with small side mounted panniers. Features the additional benefit of the inclusion of roller wheels that allow the bike to be pulled along when folded (like a travel case) if fitted in conjunction with the rear carrier rack.
Pannier Adapter for Handlebar
A frame that allows a pannier bag to be front mounted using a lockable KlickFix adapter.
Abus Bordo Lock
You'll need something to keep your pride and joy safe. the Abus range of Bordo locks are well suited to the Birdy by means of their easy mounting system that easily accommodates the unconventional frame design.
Air Pump
Don't get caught short without a pump, this quality full length pump mounts inside the seat post so it's tucked away out of sight but always there when you need it.
MKS Detachable pedals
Quickly and easily removed by means of an innovative quick release fitting, the addition of these make the Birdy even more compact when folded.
Frame Bag
Fits under the top tube, a useful addition to carry everyday items.
Carry Bag
A full size bag to carry the folded Birdy that tucks away and attaches to the frame when not in use. Useful for ease of carrying and when you need to take the bike with you into areas that a unconcealed folded bike may not be accepted.
Rear Suspension Elastomer
The standard 'Red' elastomer is a good option for the majority of riders, but if you prefer a harder or softer option this can be configured at the time of purchase.
Front Shock Absorber
The standard front shock absorber is well matched to the standard rear suspension and suited to the majority of riders, but if a firmer ride is preferred we can configure your new bike with harder front fork elastomer.
