The TS5 Roadster by Rabeneick is the German take on what a modern urban hybrid ought to look like, and this really is the standard against which all other city hybrids should be measured. Rabeneick prides themselves on functional minimalism, touting the slogan "less is more" - a winning argument when you see the concept in action.
The TS5 is as versatile as they come. Starting with a sleek, hydroformed aluminium frame, the Roadster boasts an urban-sporty geometry for a comfy yet ultra-mobile feel while riding. The 8-speed Shimano Alfine internal gear hub offers a wide gear range and the smoothest shifting you could dream of, while powerful disc brakes will stop you in your tracks rain or shine.
When you add in battery-free dynamo lighting, SKS fenders, Ergon grips, the Racktime rear carrier... well, it's easy to wonder how "minimal" this bike is. One look should clear that up - every piece of the TS5 plays an important role with no superfluous add-ons - leaving a clean, slick design. Form, meet function - we think you two will get along.
