This sleek, sporty city bike is designed for cyclists who want to inject a bit of excitement into their daily commute without sacrificing practicality or safety. With its lightweight aluminium frame, smooth-shifting Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub, and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, the Elops Speed 920 is ready to take on your urban demands with style and confidence.

A Frame Built for Speed and Agility

The heart of the Elops Speed 920 is its lightweight 6061 T6 aluminium frame. Weighing in at just 12 kg, this bike is super quick off the mark and easy to manoeuvre through tight city streets. The shortened seat and chain stays give the Speed 920 a responsive, snappy feel that will have you beaming with delight as you carve through corners and weave between obstacles.

Smooth Shifting with the Shimano Alfine 8 Hub

When it comes to drivetrains, the Elops Speed 920 doesn't mess around... equipped with a Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal gear hub, it offers a wide range of gears for tackling hills and accelerating away from traffic lights. The beauty of an internal gear hub is that you can change gears whether you're pedalling or at a standstill, making it incredibly convenient for stop-and-go city riding. Plus, the sealed design means less maintenance and greater reliability compared to a traditional derailleur system.

Stopping Power You Can Count On

In the city, you never know when you'll need to slam on the brakes and that's why the Elops Speed 920 comes with Tektro TKD 20 hydraulic disc brakes as standard. These brakes offer unparalleled stopping power and precision, giving you the confidence to tackle any situation, no matter if  you're navigating rainy streets or dodging unexpected obstacles, you can trust the Speed 920's brakes to bring you to a smooth, controlled stop.

Light Up the Night with Rechargeable Lights

One of the standout features of the Elops Speed 920 is its integrated lighting system. The powerful 20 lux front light and automatic rear light are both rechargeable via USB, so you never have to worry about replacing batteries. The front light lasts about 8 hours on a single charge, while the rear light can go for an impressive 10 hours. In automatic mode, the lights switch on when you start moving and turn off after 10 seconds of being stationary, conserving power when you don't need it. During the day, the front light stays in eco mode to make you more visible to other road users, then automatically switches to a higher power mode as darkness falls. It's a brilliant system that keeps you safe and seen, day and night.

Mudguards and Chain Guard for All-Weather Practicality

Just because the Elops Speed 920 is built for speed doesn't mean it skimps on practicality. It comes equipped with full-length mudguards to keep you dry and clean in wet conditions, while the chainset guard protects your trousers from unsightly grease stains. These thoughtful touches make the Speed 920 a bike you can ride in any weather, in any attire, without worrying about arriving at your destination looking like you've been through a mud bath.

Reviews:

After putting the Elops Speed 920 through its paces on the streets of London, we've come away thoroughly impressed. This bike strikes an excellent balance between speed, agility, and practicality, making it a top choice for urban cyclists who want a bit of excitement in their daily ride.

We particularly love the Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub, which offers smooth, reliable shifting and low maintenance. Combined with the responsive aluminium frame and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, it makes for a bike that's incredibly easy and fun to ride in the city.

The integrated lighting system is another standout feature. Being able to charge the lights via USB is incredibly convenient, and the automatic mode is a brilliant touch that conserves battery life. We felt safe and visible riding the Speed 920 at all hours, which is crucial for commuting in the city.

If we had to nitpick, we'd say that the 32mm tyres, while fast and grippy on tarmac, might feel a bit harsh on rougher roads. Some riders might prefer a slightly wider tyre for added comfort. But that's a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent package.

Overall, we highly recommend the Elops Speed 920 for any urban cyclist looking for a fast, fun, and practical bike. It's a joy to ride, with a sporty character that will put a smile on your face every time you hop on the saddle. If you want to spice up your commute without sacrificing functionality, this is the bike for you.
