The Culture isn’t an easy bike to pigeonhole - with it’s low step-over frame and enclosed chain on the Black and Red, it’s an excellent city bike, but with it’s very stiff frame, full suspension and luggage capacity it’s also an excellent touring bike, and it can even play off-road with no problems...

The Black is the hub-geared Culture, with a choice of either a freewheel or coaster brake on the Shimano Nexus 8-speed gear. The chain is fully enclosed for brilliant weather protection, and lighting comes from a Shimano hub dynamo and B&M LED lights. The Black is available with a 48cm or 55cm frame. See below for full specs.

Culture Black - Premium freewheel - £1235 -
Culture Black - Coaster - £1195 -

The Silver is the derailleur-geared Culture, using a SRAM DualDrive 3x9 combination hub gear and derailleur for a wide 27-speed gear range. A Shimano hub dynamo powers the B&M lights. The Silver is available in 48cm and 55cm frame sizes - see below for full specs.

Culture Silver - £1165 -

The Culture Red has the same ingenious fully-enclosed chain as the Black, but combines it with the Rohloff Speedhub 14-speed hub gear for a much wider gear range and lower drag. Braking is with Magura HS33 hydraulic rim brakes, and lighting is from a Shimano hub dynamo powering B&M lights. The Red comes in a 48cm or 55cm frame, and confusingly also with a silver frame - see below for full specs.

Culture Red - £2095 -

c-kisi-box The Culture has quick release attachment points for a rear childseat or basket, and a front KickFix bracket - there are also adapters to carry panniers and a lock is also available.

Rear Basket - £25
Rear Seat - £77
Front KlickFix - £14
Rear pannier adapter - £22
Lowrider (Black/Silver only) - £59
Abus Varedo lock & bracket - £57
