What's a tall frame for?
A high frame is stiffer than a low one, and therefore more dynamic for cyclists in a hurry...
Bike weight
Size S/M: 19.2kg
Size L-XL: 19.3kg
Transmission
Your Elops 540 bike is equipped with 7 Shimano NEXUS 7 gears, a benchmark in terms of smoothness, even at a standstill or on a hill, making it much easier to shift gears.
Gears integrated into the hub require less maintenance, do not rust, do not go out of adjustment, do not cause injury and do not get dirty.
Brakes
For efficient, safe braking, we've equipped your bike with front and rear aluminum V-brake calipers.
Handlebars/stem/steering
"In addition to the ergonomic aluminum handlebar geometry and aluminum plunger stem (for lighter weight and corrosion resistance), theElops 540 features a steering spring.
Result? You're more comfortable when riding, and the handlebars don't tip over when you put the bike on the stand."
A steel seatpost and a comfortable saddle
"The steel seatpost absorbs vibrations more effectively, and the screw-type seat clamp reduces the risk of theft. And the saddle? It's our favorite: after numerous tests, we chose this wide saddle with foam durometers adapted to the pressure points of the buttocks on the saddle.
So why this one? Because it was by far the most comfortable!
Wheels
TheElops 540 is fitted with 28" wheels, with DOUBLE-walled (i.e. sturdy) raw aluminum rims. To protect your rims and avoid punctures, we recommend inflating your tires to between 3.5 and 4.5 bar. And to avoid the risk of theft during your activities in town, the wheel is secured by a nut hub.
Tires
"To ride comfortably in the city, we chose very wide tires (45 mm): the bike is more "rolling" and you can get over small obstacles more easily. Sidewalks, manhole covers, potholes or streetcar tracks won't make you lose your balance!
Skinwall tires are lighter, more comfortable, reinforced and equipped with a reflective strip.
Inner tubes are fitted with auto valves: you can inflate your tires at a service station.
Accessories and equipment to make your journey easier:
"To simplify your journeys around town, we've thought of a few details:
The kickstand is on the rear wheel so it doesn't get in the way when you're pedaling. The luggage rack supports 27 kg (the standard for a baby carrier).
With AXA's automatic hub dynamo lighting (it lights up and adjusts its intensity according to light conditions) front and rear, no more batteries to charge before setting off, and no more rubbing noises from "bottle" dynamos.
Compatibility
"To be visible at 360°, you can add VIOO CLIP lights (sold separately) to the handlebar ends.
We've also provided space for a frame lock and a folding lock.
For hands-free riding, your bike is compatible with the entire range of B'TWIN mobility luggage.
Finally, we've taken great care to provide you with a luggage rack that meets the latest standards, so you can install your baby carrier with peace of mind.
A bike designed for everyday city life
"Obviously, we wanted to offer you a beautiful bike. But also a comfortable, practical and reliable bike. For example?
A slightly curved fork, to absorb the vibrations of cobblestones.
A double elastic band in the basket, to store your anti-theft device.
A Z reflector on the luggage rack, to be seen in all circumstances.
And to discover even more little extras, come and try it out!"
Mudguards and chain guard to protect you from weather-related dirt.
We're proud to present...
"...a bike we've completely redesigned ourselves. And to get to this point, there's a design team of 4 people, lots of exchanges with component engineers, mock-ups, prototypes and lots of tests over 4 years.
We've worked to design a bike that's more resistant and in case 100% of the parts are available in after-sales service.
And in the end, we're delighted to offer you a bike that's elegant and simply comfortable, to make all your journeys around town a joy :)
