Raleigh Mustang Comp 27.5 Electric Bike 2018 Black
Drawing on the success of the Mustang, Raleigh has paved the way for the future of Adventure bikes with their new Mustang Electric. The 2018 Mustang Electric boasts all the same features that make adventure bikes popular, giving you the ability to ride both on road and off-road but with the added benefit of electric assistance. Think less road bike and more ultimate drop bar do everything bike! The Raleigh Mustang Comp Electric Adventure Bike is the perfect companion for every cyclist that enjoys a bit of everything, designed for the real world of getting to work or grabbing some fun at the weekend. Capable on the road or on the trail, they give you the versatility to go where you like. Take the towpath or the short cut through the woods, deal with the potholes and indifferent tarmac of the British roads. Powered by Shimano’s E6000 steps system and using SRAM’s proven Apex 1 gearing this dropbar ebike is at home on all terrain. Raleigh consciously chose Shimano motors on these bikes as they have virtually no drag, meaning that if you are going faster than 25kph the motor won’t slow you down when it’s not working. Something we feel as keen riders is particularly important with a bike of this type. So how does this smaller yet also larger tyre benefit your ride? Easy; traction and comfort. While a 650b x 42c tire has roughly the same outer diameter as a 700c x 30c tyre, it also has a much wider footprint. That equates to a much larger contact area with the terrain that you’re riding on and therefore, more traction. On the comfort side of things these high-volume tyres can be run at much lower pressures than their traditional road counterparts. This lower pressure easily absorbs bumps in the road and creates a much more comfortable and supple ride quality.
