FAQ
What is an urban bike and what is it suitable for?
Urban bikes are light, manoeuvrable and specially designed for city traffic. They have a minimalist look and combine sporty geometry with technology suitable for everyday use – ideal for short journeys, your daily commute or simply for cruising through the city in style.
What equipment makes sense for urban bikes and what is fitted?
Our urban bikes are available in different equipment variants: For example, the Sneak EQ comes with mudguards, lights and pannier rack as standard – everything you need for everyday city life. With the Hobo, you can flexibly add mudguards, lights and other accessories such as the front luggage rack and customise your bike to suit your everyday life. This gives you the freedom to customise your urban bike as you wish.
Why does weight play such an important role for urban bikes?
In the city, every kilogram counts: If you carry your bike into the cellar every day, take tight corners or often restart at traffic lights, you will immediately realise how much difference a low weight makes. Our urban bikes start at 10.1 kg – this ensures an agile riding experience, more flexibility in everyday life and real fun on short journeys.
Can I ride longer commuting distances on an urban bike?
Definitely! Our urban bikes are smooth-running, efficient and equipped with derailleur gears – making them ideal for daily commutes of up to around 20 kilometres. If you like travelling fast and don't want to carry unnecessary weight, you'll find a sporty and reliable solution for your everyday life here.
Why do ROSE urban bikes have derailleur gears instead of a belt drive?
Derailleur gears offer you a sportier riding behaviour, a wider gear range and can be shifted quickly – particularly practical for changing areas in the city. We deliberately opt for a chain because it combines performance with flexibility and is easy to maintain.
What is the difference between urban bikes and hybrid bikes?
Urban bikes are lighter, more minimalist and designed more for short, efficient journeys in the city. Compared to hybrid bikes, you often save several kilograms in weight – ideal if you carry your bike into the cellar every day or want to ride dynamically through city traffic. Hybrid bikes come with more equipment, such as pannier racks, lights and mudguards. However, they are a little heavier, but perfect for touring or commuting with a lot of luggage.
