Walker R800

Wanderer's Reisetourer sings the praises of slowness: if you go on a trip with it, you don't go too fast, but you keep going. It's a good thing that the virtually indestructible Rohloff gear hub is fitted, with which some everyday cyclists cover five-digit kilometers every year! The SON lighting system, full chain protection and Brooks leather saddle also offer maximum solidity. In order to really warm up to the latter, you should already have driven a few thousand kilometers on the black steel classic.

Giant Fast Tour SLR

With a light aluminum frame and carbon fork, the Giant FastTour SLR is ideal for quick commutes and tours with reduced luggage.

Details such as the internal routing, the B&M spotlight mounted on the mudguard and the slim luggage rack are very elegant. In short: Few trekking bikes are as sporty as the Giant.
