The Delite5. The ultimate e-bike.

R&M thought of everything and stopped at nothing in the development of the Delite5. The full-suspension e-bike boasts outstanding workmanship and is durable and low-maintenance – for a magnificent riding experience even off-road.

The R&M Delite5 is available in three models: GT Touring, GT Vario & GT Rohloff.  

Delite4 GT Vario Model

• The GT Vario Model includes a comfortable, continuous Enviolo hub gear, and a Gates belt drive so you are always in the perfect gear: no gaps between shifts, virtually maintenance- and wear-free.  Choose this option to be able to shift to any gear at any time and to avoid the maintenance and repair/replacement requirements found with a standard chain, derailluer and cassette configuration.  

2022 R&M Delite / SuperDelite In-Depth Review and Ride Test (Old Version):

For the most discerning requirements.

Whether for day-to-day commuting or longer rides: this bike delivers on all fronts. Even at high speeds, the Delite5 maintains contact with the ground and keeps you fully in control – thanks to Riese & Müller Control Technology with front wheel suspension, rear swing arm and co-sprung luggage carrier.

Any route, any time.

Don't worry about the route – just your destination. The power you need is supplied by the powerful mid-mounted motor and a removable 800 Wh battery integrated in the down tube. Thanks to its sporty frame geometry, optimum crank bearing height with short crank arms and dropper seatpost, you can now ride safely on every terrain.

Equipped with everything it needs for an exceptional riding experience – the Delite5.

Worry-free riding.

The frame of the Delite5 is manufactured in Portugal and is made of 30% recycled aluminium. A cover reliably protects the drive and suspension elements from dirt and spray. And the frame lock inconspicuously fitted on the rear stay secures your bike when you are not riding.

R&M Delite 4 Options

800 Wh + Range Extender 250

The Bosch PowerMore 250Wh additional battery supplements the power of the standard 800Wh battery – for even greater range and flexibility. Only as big as a drinking bottle and weighing just 1.6kg, it can be stowed away in a backpack or bike bag. And should you spontaneously decide to go on a longer trip, then just attach the energy reserve and continue riding for another 50km without the need to stop and charge. Please note that the position of the PowerMore may vary. This applies to all HS models of Charger5 and Charger5 Mixte as well as frame size 45 of the Charger5 Mixte. The additional battery is then located under the top tube.

Offroad Kit

If you like riding your e-bike off-road, then simply equip it with first-class Schwalbe Johnny Watts tires. Their flat tire studs in the middle of the running surface have extremely low rolling resistance for faster riding on straight sections. The solid tire studs on the shoulders of the tire guarantee exceptional grip, particularly when cornering. The wide VP 538 flat pedals provide grip for your feet.

Front carrier with bag

You can additionally transport up to 5 kg on the sturdy front luggage carrier with bag. Mounted directly on the head tube and thus co-sprung, it perfectly protects whatever you are carrying from vibrations. The water-repellent 18-litre bag is quick and easy to remove. It can be securely closed with a zipper and roll-top closure, and turned into a practical shoulder bag using the strap supplied. You can also carry smaller items in the two outer pockets fitted with waterproof zippers.
Please note: the headlight is mounted on the handlebar as standard. If required, it can be mounted on the front luggage carrier, from there also guaranteeing that you can see and be seen perfectly.

Bosch eBike ABS

With Bosch eBike ABS you can use the front brake more safely and assuredly. It can prevent the front wheel from locking and helps to avoid possible skidding or crashing over the handlebars – even if you suddenly brake hard on grippy tarmac or slippery gravel paths. Wheel speed sensors monitor the speed of the wheels. If locking of the front wheel is anticipated during excessive braking, Bosch eBike ABS controls braking pressure and improves the riding stability and steerability of the e-bike – this is particularly evident on slippery surfaces. In the event of extreme overbraking of the front wheel, the intelligent Bosch eBike ABS rear wheel lift control reduces the possibility of unwanted lifting of your rear wheel.

Pannier rack

The minimalistic pannier rack is stable, lightweight and capable of carrying 7.5 kg on each side. Whether riding every day or off on an adventure – your panniers are held in place firmly and securely at all times.

The Bosch System.

Motors, batteries and displays – great performance from a single source.  Find out more about the benefits of the Bosch eBike system here.
