Test: Bikes like the Conway make e-touring bikes their own genre, offering an alternative to the classic
represents trekking concept. The crux of the matter is the wheel size: 27,5-inch wheels and larger tires improve traction, puncture resistance and cushioning. There is also a very large selection of long-travel suspension forks in the 650B segment, which are suitable for touring or everyday use. The responsive Suntour forks on the Conway even have a lockout lever on the handlebars, so they can be deactivated when riding over slick tarmac. The brisk bike pleases with its more upright seating position and the high-quality Sram NX 11-speed gears; the carrier also convinces real touring cyclists.
