New Features
The Raleigh Captus is a new model for 2016. Its finished with good components and uses the latest Bosch Active electric bike system.
The Captus comes equipped with everything useful to the everyday cyclist including: Full length mudguards, side stand, chain guard & rear wheel lock.
Raleigh have opted for the Shimano 9 speed gear system on the Captus, utilizing a 9 speed trigger shifter on the bars for easy gear changing and a Shimano Altus rear derailleur to ensure smooth shifting under pressure when assisted. The brakes are lightweight alloy cable operated V brakes.
This bike is designed to be comfortable for the rider, new features ensure the correct position is attained comfortably on the bike, these features include a comfort Selle Bassano gel saddle, comfort handlebar grips with new ergonomic design to support your hands and take pressure off the upper arm.
The Raleigh Captus also has an adjustable stem so the rider can adjust the position of the front end to make sure its perfect for the ride ahead.
Also to complement the comfort is the Suntour front suspension forks with an in built lockout so the rider can conserve energy when climbing or on less bumpy roads.
When unlocked these forks can absorb the road or bumpy surfaces taking the shocks away from the rider up front.
The Captus uses a strong alloy double wall rim laced with 36 spokes onto lightweight alloy hubs.
They are wrapped with Schwalbe puncture resistant tyres, which are designed specifically with eBikes in mind. They are fast rolling but also cater for the odd bridleway and cycle path as well as tarmac.
Looking for an affordable European Bosch eBike? The Raleigh Captus ticks all the boxes for the everyday cyclist. Looking to go further? Check out its older brother, the Raleigh Motus, with larger 400Wh battery pack, hydraulic brakes, suspension seatpost and 10 speed gear system.
