The all-new Falcon Horizon Low Step electric hybrid bike is well suited for a comfortable commute to work or a weekend ride into town on the roads, canal towpaths or country parks.
Equipped with a low step frame that makes getting on-and-off the bike quick and easy and is suitable for riders 5’0” to 5’10” (152cm to 178cm). With a frame that has an integrated 375wh battery that delivers up to 40 miles/64km of range and can be charged from flat in 5 hours – either on the bike or removed for charging indoors if you don’t have easy access to a plug socket near your bicycle storage.
The bike is powered by the well-regarded Bafang rear hub motor system that delivers 32nm of torque, making light work of hills and flat terrain riding a breeze. The motor has 3-power modes depending on how much assistance you want which are selected using the sleek and easy-to-use handlebar display which also shows the battery level and current speed. We’ve also fitted a walk assist mode that engages the motor to help drive the bike when pushing up steep hills.
The Horizon is fitted with a 1×7 speed Shimano gearing system with an upgraded Altus trigger shifter for quality feeling gear changes and low maintenance mechanical disc brakes. Front suspension fork has 80mm of travel to deliver a smoother ride on uneven terrain, and we’ve fitted a hydraulic lockout to switch the fork ‘off’ on less-bumpy parts of the ride.
The adjustable stem ensures that you can tweak the handlebars so that you are as comfortable as possible when reaching for the ergonomic lock-on grips. Remaining contact points are covered by a padded Selle Royal Freeway saddle and city style pedals.
