  • Lunch rides to that new café.
  • A weekend trip to the farmer’s market.
  • Stashing behind your train seat.

The Vitesse D7HG is for those who are looking for a great bike for urban commuting at a good value. We took our award-winning Vitesse D7, added an internal gear hub and tried and true components from top component suppliers. Then we topped it off with mudguards, a rack and even a trouser saving chainguard so you can ride in any weather. Available in 3-speed model for general use, and a 7-speed model for more demanding riders.

  • Comes with all the accessories needed for true city utility.
  • Internal gear hubs are perfect for commuting in nasty urban conditions because they require very little maintenance.
  • Comes with a large volume pump hidden inside the seatpost.
  • Luggage bracket on the frame allows the use of hundreds of KlickFix compatible bags and baskets.
  • Radius V Telescope handlepost adjusts to fit riders of all sizes.
