Thanks to the sporty, balanced seating position, the Turbo Tero is easy to handle both off-road and in everyday life; "EQ" stands for extensive equipment including the brand's typical long mudguards.

If you are looking for a touring bike with maximum low maintenance and optimal functionality, you cannot go past the Pinion gearbox. The bottom bracket gears with 18 gears and an incomparably large gear range are of course combined with a toothed belt on the slim Stevens; the Hamburg-based manufacturer also specifies Shimano disc brakes, a bright lighting system from Busch & Müller and many solid attachments. There is no suspension here, which is logical in terms of durability and low maintenance for cycling trips.
