More Features

Rear Carrier with Strap

Able to carry up to 40kg this tubus rear rack will mean longer tours without breakages. We have even supplied a strap which fits around the rack perfectly.

Kick Stand

At only 365g this sturdy touring bike kickstand will let you prop your bike up anywhere. This kickstand is pre-installed and designed to allow your bike to stand even when it's fully loaded with luggage and gear.

Integrated lighting

Powered through a dynamo hub. You power your own lights.

Mudguards

Mudguards, also known as fenders offer you protection from debris and water that you tyres might pull up from the road. Our mudguards are sized for both 650B and 700C wheels.

Steering Stabiliser

A steering stabiliser creates a resistance in your steering to pull the front wheel to centre whenever possible. Vivente Bikes use an elastomer stabiliser to minimise noise and maintain constant resistance.

Tools & Spares

All Vivente Rohloff bikes come with all the tools needed for assembly, packing and maintenance. Plus some spares.
