The Delite is a very adaptable bike - it can be pared down and fitted with race gearing to make a fast road bike, it can have wide-range touring gearing, and it also comes in a version with an oversized frame for real expedition use.

The frames are all aluminium, with full suspension - they’re built to be comfortable without soaking up your energy. All three variants - the Speed, the Touring and the Traveller - can also have Rohloff 14-speed hub gearing, and there’s a wide choice of add-ons. There are also versions with electric-assist.
