What's new in 2023 compared to the previous version.

Thanks to your feedback we have made changes to improve your experience. - The lights are now USB rechargeable, more powerful and positioned higher. - Integration of the front carrying interface for the future 25 L front bag for folding bikes (ref: 8735484). - Length-adjustable stand. - Built-in interface for smartphone mount on handlebar. - New lever on the seatpost clamp for better clamping force.- Handle under the saddle.

Frame

6061 T6 aluminium frame—lightweight, dynamic and sturdy. The very easy side-fold system with a lever helps to save up space: at home, at the office, in the boot of a car or in a camper... you'll forget your bike is even there. There is a mechanism to quickly lock the frame and stem so that you can keep the bike folded and transport it easily.In order to improve your bike's stability once folded, the frame is equipped with a bike stand under its base.

Fork

Hi-ten steel fork for greater durability.

Brakes

Steel V-brake and callipers guarantee effective and progressive braking.

Handlebar / stem / steering

Semi-raised aluminium handlebars with a 60 mm rise for adjusting the steering position to suit your body shape and improve handling. Handlebar width: 560mm. Fixed aluminium stem with quick-release lock for greater stiffness compared to a height-adjustable stem. Distance from saddle to handlebar: 540 mm. Bottom bracket to saddle distance: 480 mm to 780 mm

SADDLE/SEAT POST

- A new seatpost clamp designed to improve the clamping force. It's also more pleasant to handle, with its ergonomic shape. - Anti-theft, anti-rotation aluminium seat post 31.6mm in diameter.- Comfortable, seamless foam saddle to stop water getting in.

Wheels

20-inch, single-walled aluminium rims.

Tyre

Tyres with anti-puncture reinforcement. Size 20 x 1.75. We've developed these tyres using Skinwall technology for lower weight and higher performance. To minimise the risk of punctures and increase your bike's performance, inflate your tyres to between 3.5 and 4.5 bar.

Crankset

- The fold-up pedals reduce bulk when the bike is folded. Once the pedals are folded up and the stem folded down, the bike can be stored against a wall and takes up very little space (26 cm wide). - 52-teeth chainring.- Steel cranks: 170mm.

USB rechargeable front and rear lights

USB front light: - 5-hour battery life. - 10 lux for seeing and being seen. - Clips onto a special bracket in the centre of the handlebar. USB rear light: - 6-hour battery life. - 5.4 lumens. - Clips onto the seat clamp. It's positioned nice and high so that you're really visible. These lights comply with the French highway code and with German standards. The dual port micro USB cable is supplied with the bike

Compatible with rear pannier rack

Yes the frame has inserts so you can attach the special rear pannier rack for 20" folding bikes.

Specific accessories compatible with folding bikes.

- The 20" protective cover (ref: 8271631): can be used to cover your bike when transporting it (Eurostar, car, train, etc.). The cover comes in a zip-up pouch that you can attach to the underside of your bike's saddle. - 25L front bag for folding bikes (ref: 8735484) : for carrying all of your belongings. Clips onto the front of the bike's frame in 1 second. - smartphone holder (ref: 8595221) : clips onto the bracket on the handlebar.

How can you carry your bags at the front?

The bike comes with mounting points on the frame (above the front wheel). These mounting points can be used for an exclusive bag designed by the B'Twin teams: our 25L front bag (ref: 8735484). It can be clipped on and taken off with 1 hand in 1 second. As it sits on the frame, you won't notice its weight and the bike will remain stable. You'll be able to control your bike as normal. /!\ When your bag is full, you won't be able to lift up the front wheel to mount pavements.

Accessories that AREN'T compatible

- Pannier racks that attach to the seat post are not compatible either. - Child seats are not compatible. - Trailers for children are not compatible.

Bike stability: 2 stands

Bike stability: 2 stands - Adjustable stand with a button to adjust the length. The stand keeps the bike stable when it's unfolded (whether or not you have bags on it). - Frame support stand that the bike rests on as you fold it and that protects the chainset.
