“Only flying is better. The Flyer Upstreet TR:CF 7.63 HS is a first-class commuter bike that combines the latest technology with maximum comfort and a user friendly experience,” as the jury noted when it chose the Swiss urban e-bike. It particularly appreciated the innovative performance of this modern speed pedelec: “As one of the first speed pedelecs, the sleek carbon frame conceals the extremely low-maintenance Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU) from Pinion including a GATES belt drive.

Riders can say goodbye to difficult gear changes under load or while stationary.” Alongside the automatic gear shifting, the expert panel praised the 700 Wh battery, the powerful lighting system and the comfortable ride with suspension seatpost and sophisticated suspension fork.

The lightweight Uproc SL:X with 130 mm travel is designed for fun on the trail. As the jury emphasized: “On the trail, FLYER is a winner with a progressive frameset offering a light, fast ride. It offers maximum levels of fun on winding tracks in particular, bringing joy to each and every rider.” The lightweight carbon frame and select components add up to a weight of just under 18 kg. Apart from its state-of-the-art technology, FLYER’s first light EMTB will turn heads with its striking design. “Its clean lines provide an elegant, sporty look, and the silver paint reminds one of the iconic Silver Arrows. 

The Bosch Performance Line SX-Motor blends seamlessly into the frame.” The jury also gave extra accolades for “clever details such as the multitool in the head tube and the integrated front light that is powered directly by the main battery.”
