Bosch Smart System Power & Integration
At its core, the Delite5 Rohloff is powered by Bosch’s most advanced Smart System — the Performance Line CX (BDU384Y). Delivering up to 100 Nm of torque, this motor offers instant acceleration, intuitive power delivery, and efficient support across all terrains.
The fully integrated Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery ensures exceptional range and clean design. Paired with the optional Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh Range Extender, total capacity reaches 1,050 Wh — making long-distance touring, high elevation rides, and multi-day adventures effortless.
Control your ride with Bosch’s Purion 200 and Kiox 500 displays, offering customizable data, real-time diagnostics, and navigation. The Bosch Flow App allows fine-tuning of assist levels and over-the-air firmware updates, keeping your Delite5 Rohloff always current and ready for any journey.
The Rohloff E-14: Precision Engineering at Its Finest
The Rohloff Speedhub E-14 represents the ultimate drivetrain for serious riders. This electronically controlled 14-speed hub shifts with near-silent precision in just 180 milliseconds — even under full pedal load.
Automatic downshifting brings you back to your preferred starting gear at every stop, while synchronization with the Bosch system ensures perfectly timed shifts. It’s fast, reliable, and virtually indestructible — engineered to last over 100,000 km with minimal maintenance.
Paired with the Gates CDX carbon belt drive, the system runs quietly and cleanly, requiring no lubrication or adjustment. The belt never rusts or stretches, and it’s impervious to dirt and weather — ideal for Canadian conditions and year-round riding.
Together, Rohloff and Gates deliver one of the most advanced, low-maintenance drivetrains ever designed for an eBike.
Full Suspension Comfort & Control Technology
The Fox AWL 34 Boost fork and Fox Float Rhythm 165x45 Trunnion rear shock deliver 120 mm of plush, responsive travel, forming Riese & Müller’s renowned Control Technology platform. This advanced suspension system absorbs road chatter and rough terrain alike, keeping your tires planted for optimal traction and comfort.
Whether you’re gliding through city streets, descending forest trails, or covering long stretches of open road, the Delite5 Rohloff stays composed, stable, and fatigue-free.
Complementing the suspension is a perfectly balanced aluminum frame that provides stiffness, control, and confidence — even with panniers or cargo. At 35 kg, it’s a full-featured touring machine designed for performance and endurance.
Braking, Lighting & Safety
The TRP HD-EU835 hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, consistent braking performance, designed specifically for the higher speeds and loads of full-size eBikes. Riders can also choose the optional Bosch eBike ABS 2.0 system for added safety, ensuring controlled braking on wet roads, steep descents, or loose surfaces.
Visibility is handled by the premium Supernova M99 mini Pro 25 headlight, which produces an automotive-level beam pattern, paired with an integrated Supernova rear light. Both are powered directly by the Bosch system, ensuring full lighting power at any speed or assist level.
Connectivity & Integration
The RX Chip, included as standard, adds GPS tracking, ride recording, and digital connectivity. Using Riese & Müller’s RX services, riders can locate their eBike, log trips, and access advanced security features — all seamlessly integrated into the Smart System.
Combined with Bosch’s ecosystem, the Delite5 Rohloff becomes a fully connected riding platform — blending performance, safety, and intelligence in one unified system.
