Kalkhoff Endeavour Lite 22 - A lightweight touring bike with very high-quality equipment
The Endeavour Lite is a lightweight touring bike that lets you step on the gas on the road. It also feels super comfortable on field and firm forest paths. Perfect for commuting, cycling trips or the weekend tour.
Kalkhoff has given the Endeavour Lite first-class equipment and, in combination with the lightweight aluminium frame, has managed to push it to just under a weight of 13 kilograms. That's great for a touring bike, so even tours with luggage are much more fun.
An interesting mix of lightweight and reliable components is installed. The Shimano 105 shifting system is usually found on road bikes. Here, the derailleur, known for its great precision, provides some weight savings with a nevertheless large gear range. You have 22 gears with 46/36 teeth at the front and 11-32 teeth at the rear. This makes the bike great for the city and undulating terrain. The hydraulic disc brakes are from Shimano's Deore XT range. These are usually found on heavier, off-road bikes such as hardtail mountain bikes or cross bikes. The Endeavour's braking performance is correspondingly gripping.
The classy equipment is complemented by a Busch & Müller lighting system with a smooth-running hub dynamo and 70-lux headlight. In addition, there are grips and saddle from ergonomics expert Ergon, which ensures the best comfort even on long tours, and reliable Schwalbe marathon tyres. The sturdy high-profile hollow section rims are tubeless ready. This means you can switch to tubeless tyres if you want more puncture protection with less tyre pressure.
For shopping and bike trips, the lowrider-compatible luggage rack is perfect for attaching the corresponding panniers. The same option is also available for the fork and there are matching bags for this too.
The frame geometry is optimised for long and short tours, you get a fast, light and absolutely reliable, roadworthy all-rounder.
