Bosch Smart System Power & Performance

At the heart of the Delite5 Vario is the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System, delivering up to 100 Nm of torque with an incredibly smooth and responsive feel. Bosch’s most advanced motor yet, it provides dynamic assistance whether you’re climbing steep inclines, riding into headwinds, or carrying heavy loads.

The Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery offers impressive range, fully integrated into the frame for a sleek, balanced look. Combined with the optional PowerMore 250 Wh Range Extender, riders can achieve up to 1,050 Wh of capacity — perfect for all-day touring or multi-day adventures.

The Bosch Kiox 500 display and LED Remote give intuitive control over your ride, displaying speed, power output, range, and navigation at a glance. Through the Bosch Flow App, you can customize assist levels, track rides, and receive over-the-air updates. It’s technology that keeps your eBike future-ready and perfectly tuned to your riding style.

Enviolo Vario & Gates Belt Drive: Pure, Seamless Motion

The Delite5 Vario replaces traditional gears with the Enviolo Heavy Duty continuously variable transmission (CVT) — a stepless shifting system that lets you dial in your cadence effortlessly. Simply twist the shifter to adjust resistance; there are no fixed gears, no abrupt changes, and no missed shifts.

This smooth drivetrain is paired with the Gates CDX carbon belt, a clean, durable, and silent alternative to a traditional chain. The belt never needs lubrication, won’t rust, and is designed to last up to 30,000 km. Together, these systems deliver a riding experience that’s quiet, intuitive, and virtually maintenance-free.

Whether tackling steep climbs or rolling terrain, the Delite5 Vario always keeps you in your perfect rhythm — making it one of the most comfortable and refined eBikes in the Riese & Müller lineup.

Comfort, Handling & Suspension

The Delite5 Vario is designed for comfort and control on any terrain. Its full-suspension setup features a SR Suntour Aion 35 Evo Boost fork (120 mm travel) and a Cane Creek eeSilk+ suspension seatpost, absorbing rough surfaces while maintaining pedaling efficiency.

The frame’s geometry provides a stable, upright riding position that reduces strain on the back, wrists, and shoulders — ideal for long rides or daily commutes. Combined with the Schwalbe Johnny Watts 365 tires, which provide outstanding grip and low rolling resistance, the Delite5 Vario maintains composure on both pavement and light trails.

Magura MT5/MT4 hydraulic disc brakes ensure dependable stopping power, while optional Bosch eBike ABS 2.0 gives enhanced control on slippery or uneven ground. The integrated Supernova mini 3 Pro headlight and Supernova M99 rear light illuminate the road with powerful, daylight-like brightness, ensuring safety and visibility wherever you ride.

The result? A bike that glides over imperfections and feels stable, smooth, and connected at every speed.

Manufacturer Warranty

Warranty and guarantee

It is possible that a fault may occur with your Riese & Müller bike even though we prioritise quality and durability when selecting our components. In this case, we are often asked whether the fault is covered by the warranty or guarantee. These two terms are often used as synonyms, but have different meanings.

When does the warranty apply?

The warranty, also known as liability for defects, always applies if a defect existed or was expected to exist before the bike was handed over to you (e.g. material defect, assembly fault). The precise legal regulations governing a warranty are set out in the German Civil Code (BGB). The warranty starts at the moment you pick up your bike.

  • It lasts two years for new bikes individually built for you.
  • It also lasts two years for immediately available new bikes and ‘as new’ bikes from the online shop or our factory sales outlet (ridden less than 10 km).
  • The warranty is one year for used or demonstration bikes from our online shop or our factory sales outlet (ridden more than 10 km).

The buyer (you) must direct any claims under warranty to the seller of the bike. The seller is usually your Riese & Müller dealer. A warranty claim will also be handled by the dealer partner that you selected as the Service Hub when you purchased the bike, even with bikes bought in the online shop or from our factory sales outlet.

Your dealer will examine the complaint on site, assess it and then, if necessary, approach us to make a claim against us.

Warranty claims cannot be handled directly between you, the customer, and Riese & Müller, the manufacturer of the bike.

Your dealer will not usually contact Riese & Müller about defects relating to other manufacturers’ components, such as Bosch, Rohloff, Enviolo or Suntour, but will contact the component manufacturer directly. This approach is always applied in the interests of our customers, as direct communication between the companies concerned usually significantly shortens the processing time.

Of course, as the bike manufacturer, we are always available to support our dealers and component manufacturers as required.

Wear that is not due to a defect is not covered by the warranty.

Please check the exact warranty conditions applicable in your country.

When does the guarantee apply?

Regardless of the legally prescribed liability for defects, Riese & Müller grants a five-year guarantee for breakage of the frame or rear swing arm. Furthermore, we grant you a voluntary warranty on the battery of two years: we guarantee that the battery will have a capacity of 60 percent after two years or 500 full charge cycles (whichever occurs first). This guarantee applies if the following conditions are met:

  • You are the first owner of the bike.
  • You have registered your bike online within four weeks.
  • The bike logbook in the appendix of the general owner’s manual has been completed in full and all the inspections listed there have been carried out and entered.

All guarantee services and conditions are set out here in detail.
