The sky-blue Drössiger puts you in a good mood, and those who don't like the color can be even happier. The Rhenish manufacturer enables extensive design options with its color configurator: With the frame color, two decor colors and the choice between matt and glossy paintwork, we come up with exactly 13.950 variants. As a special service, add-on parts such as mudguards or luggage racks can be powder-coated in the same color as the frame. New for 2019 are rim decals that match the decor color.
The features of the Drössiger, which is visually individual and has clear lines, are appropriate for the rather high price of almost 1.300 euros: The high-quality XT/Deore gear mix is ideal for the area of application, as is the air-adjustable suspension fork, which responds sensitively but can also lock up if desired leaves. Ergo grips and saddles are also of high quality; the bright 50 lux spotlight with daytime running lights is powered by a smooth-running hub dynamo.
With the Drössiger, cables and lines are routed on the outside of the frame. This may not look quite as elegant as internal routing, but it makes all maintenance work much easier; With its adjustable dropout, the bike could also be fitted with a hub gear. The somewhat heavy trekking bike is handy and agile, and very stable at high speeds. The seating position is balanced, but its basic orientation appeals more to sporty riders - thanks to the adjustable stem, however, the geometry can be relaxed in no time at all. Luckily there isn't much missing on two wheels - if we had one wish, it would have to be a slightly more stable side stand.
