The Intercontinental is brand new for 2007, and is Riese & Muller’s expedition touring bike - it takes over from the excellent Delite Grey and improves on it. A new stiffer and lighter full-suspension frame, a new integrated carrier which is connected to the swingarm via linkages for rigidity, larger-diameter frame tubes and larger suspension travel, a longer wheelbase and wider tyre clearances all make this a bike designed to live up to it’s name...

The Intercontinental is very well-equipped for touring, and is available in two models or a frame kit - also available are a lowrider rack for front luggage and hub dynamo lighting for the Black.

The Sahara is equipped with a Rohloff Speedhub hub gear, SON hub dynamo lighting, Shimano XT disc brakes and Marzocchi and Manitou suspension - see below for the full specification. It’s available with a 49cm, 54cm or 60cm frame.

The Black is equipped with 27-speed Shimano XT and LX derailleur gears, Magura hydraulic rim brakes and Marzocchi and Suspa suspension - see below for the full specification. The Black is also available in 49cm, 54cm and 60cm frame sizes.
