2026 Raleigh Hockley Crossbar Electric Bike In Black Flat Gloss

The Raleigh Hockley crossbar e-bike offers a dependable entry point into electric cycling. Built around a lightweight aluminium frame with disc brake post mounts, it blends traditional diamond frame geometry with modern electric assistance for comfortable leisure riding. This practical e-bike delivers the versatility needed for both commuting and recreational rides, with thoughtful component choices that prioritise reliability and ease of use.

Weighing in at less than 18kg the Hockley is an impressively lightweight e-bike, which makes it suitable for a wider range of riders and is a big help if you need to lift the bike up or down steps.

To take the edge off road imperfections and light trail surfaces, the Hockley is fitted with a Winora Feathershock fork with 30mm of travel, which enhances rider comfort without adding the unnecessary weight and complexity of a full suspension fork.

Pedal assistance is provided by the lightweight Bosch Performance SX motor with 55Nm of torque, which offers a generous amount of oomph to make it easy to zoom around in typical urban environments. Urban cycling tends to involve a lot of stopping and starting, and the pedal assist really helps nicely in reducing the effort to get going from a standstill. Powering the Hockley is a 400Wh Bosch battery that has the capacity to keep you going all day on extended rides, or to last many days for the average rider doing the usual commutes or shopping trips around town.

Raleigh doesn't cut corners on their designs and using Shimano's CUES 9-speed drivetrain places well-known, quality components where it matters most, where the wear-and-tear and stresses on the bike are the most intense. On this bike they combined the CUES rear derailleur with an 11-41 tooth cassette, delivering a sensible range of gear ratios for both urban environments and gentle climbs. The Miranda Delta crankset provides reliable power transfer, whilst the integrated bottom bracket design maintains clean lines and reduces maintenance requirements.

Braking power comes courtesy of Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. These proven brakes offer consistent performance in varied weather conditions, with the hydraulic actuation providing smooth modulation and reduced hand fatigue during longer rides. The centre-lock disc mounting system ensures secure brake disc attachment.

The wheel configuration delivers dependable performance for daily riding, composed of Schürmann Yak25 rims laced with Sapim Leader spokes to Shimano CUES hubs. To top it off they shod with Continental Contact Urban Reflex tyres, which feature reflective sidewalls that enhance visibility during low-light conditions.

If you are shopping or need to carry plenty of things with you on your commute then the Hockley's rear rack is capable of accepting up to 15kg of load in pannier bags.

Finishing touches include the Raleigh integrated stem and Tranz X trekking handlebars, creating an upright riding position that prioritises comfort over aggressive performance, and the aluminium platform pedals provide a secure foothold with regular footwear.

Named from the very heart of Nottingham, the Raleigh Hockley carries the soul of the city in every spoke and is kitted out with full-length mudguards and integrated lights. With its understated black flat gloss finish, it’s ready to tackle city commutes in any weather, day or night.
