The TS5 Roadster by Rabeneick is the German take on a modern urban hybrid, and is as versatile as they come. Starting with a sleek, hydroformed aluminium frame, the TS5 boasts an urban-sporty geometry for a comfy yet ultra-mobile feel while riding. The 8-speed Shimano Nexus internal gear hub offers a wide gear range and the smoothest shifting you could dream of, while powerful disc brakes will stop you in your tracks rain or shine.

What takes the TS5 to the next level is the Gates belt drive. Say goodbye to chain stretch, rust and replacement; the belt drive makes for a powerful transmission while being virtually maintenance-free. When you add in battery-free dynamo lighting, SKS fenders, Ergon grips, the Racktime rear carrier this minimal looking bike is suddenly pretty loaded up!
Rabeneick is the sister company to Fahrradmanufaktur - a Curbside favourite.
