Mercedes-Benz Presents 2011 Bicycle Selection

We all knew the German automaker is not limited to producing just four-wheeled creatures for the road, but its two-wheeled creations are also a treat themselves. Thus, Mercedes-Benz decided to give us a hand when choosing our bicycle and released their selection for 2011.

The new All Mountain mountain bike Fox Racing F32 RL suspension fork and a DT Swiss suspension strut, each with a spring travel of 120 mm. Gears are shifted by a 30-speed SRAM X.9 system, and the brakes are hydraulic AVID Elixir 5 disc brakes with a disc diameter of 185 mm. DT Swiss X1900 wheels complete the package.

The fitness bike with a lockable Suntour XCR suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes is available in three frame heights (48 cm, 51 cm, 54 cm).

The trekking bike, equipped with a mudguard, luggage carrier and a Busch & Müller lighting system including a Shimano hub dynamo, is available in frame heights 51 cm and 54 cm.

The Limited racing bike weighs only 6.8 kg thanks to its carbon-fibre frame, which is produced on the tube-to-tube principle. Formula 1 drivers Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg also use this high-end bike to prepare for the new Grand Prix season. The racing bike is available in frame heights 49 cm, 53 cm, 56 cm, 58 cm and 61 cm and is a limited edition of 100.

Finally, the kids' bike comes as a 2-in-1 concept, it can be quickly converted from a 16“ kids' bike into a straddler. It is available in the colours white, red metallic and pink metallic, and suitable for children aged 3 to approx. 6 years.

The selection also includes high-quality bike clothing and useful accessories for cyclists, developed in cooperation with companies such as deuter sport, uvex, Topeak and Sigma Sport.
