The Riese & Müller Culture Mixte Touring is a contemporary urban e-bike that prioritizes minimalist design and sustainability without sacrificing performance. Its signature "Mixte" frame features a lowered top tube for easy mounting and a distinctive curved seat strut, all crafted from a frame where approximately 50% of the aluminum is recycled. Designed for a "natural" riding experience, it is built around the lightweight Bosch Performance Line SX motor system. This setup offers a more agile, nimble feel than traditional heavy-duty e-bikes, making it perfect for city dwellers who need a stylish commuter that is easy to handle both on the road and when being stored at home.
As a "Touring" model, this bike is equipped with a high-quality Shimano CUES 10-speed derailleur system, providing a dynamic and responsive gear range for varying urban terrain. The integration is seamless, with the 400Wh battery hidden within the slim down tube and the option to add a 250Wh PowerMore range extender for longer weekend adventures. Modern tech features like the Purion 200 integrated display and the RX Chip for digital tracking ensure that the Culture Mixte is as smart and secure as it is aesthetically striking in its Denim pastel finishes.
