This is a long-distance touring rig tuned for efficient miles: 27 gears, 28" wheels and a setup that favors speed and comfort on paved roads while remaining capable on smooth gravel tracks. The bike lacks a coaster (foot) brake and comes with a rear rack rather than a basket—details that shape how you load and ride it during single-day spins or multi-day tours around Halmstad.

THE BIKE

27 gears and 28" wheels for distance performance

Designed for sustained speed and efficiency, the Touringbikes Large features 27 gears and 28" wheels—optimized for asphalt and steady gravel—plus a rear rack (no basket) and no foot brake, so it rewards riders prepared for longer efforts.

THE TERRAIN

Best on asphalt, capable on smooth gravel

The bike excels on paved roads where its gearing and wheel size deliver efficient rolling; it also performs well on even gravel surfaces, making it a versatile choice for mixed-route touring in and around Halmstad.

THE RANGE

From day rides to multi-day tours

Rentals span single-day outings up to multi-day use, making the model appropriate for riders planning anything from one-day excursions to tours measured in days.

What the day feels like

What riding it feels like

On rolling asphalt the Touringbikes Large feels taut and efficient: the 27-speed drivetrain lets you find a steady cadence on flats and climbs, while 28" wheels keep momentum between accelerations. Swap to even gravel and the bike remains composed; the absence of a foot brake and the presence of a rear rack mean you plan braking and luggage placement deliberately, especially on longer days.
