With the Birdy city you’ll savour the almost wear-free 8-speed hub gear and the almost maintenance-free back pedal brake. Riding and folding is simplicity itself with this model. The Shimano Nexus transmission is ideal for long life and low maintenance. The effective front suspension and superb handling are of course also top class with this Birdy. Whether you’re a city cyclists,commuter, or weekend traveller – you’ll feel right at home on the Birdy city.
The Birdy City Premium has all the same great qualities as the Birdy City, but is fitted with the high quality Shimano Nexus Premium hub gear. This hub runs with very low friction thanks to upgraded bearings, and is noticeably lighter. The Premium hub is only available in a freewheel version, and is marked by the red band on the hub body. So the city premium behaves just like a derailleur bike when you pedal backwards. The powerful V-brakes provide more than sufficient control and safety. It’s the Birdy everyone wants: reliable, true, and with all of the qualities that characterise this multi award-winning bike.
