    Travelmaster 2.8

    A tarmac-loving touring bike

     

The Travelmaster 2.8 is just like the 2.6 a heavy-duty trekking bike, so suitable for long treks with a lot of luggage. But why should you opt for a 2.8? The difference lies in the larger 28-inch wheels, the narrower tires and the other frame ratios. This gives the Travelmaster 2.8 a completely different character. It is more suitable for asphalt roads and less for rough terrain. But a nice forest path every now and then is no problem!

The Travelmaster 2.8 has been developed for the fast, fanatic mileage eater, but also for the bon vivant who wants to cycle through Europe (and beyond) comfortably and relaxed.
James Bowthorpe demonstrated what the Travelmaster 2.8 is capable of in 2009 when he set the record cycling around the world. We are quite proud of that! James pedaled no less than 29,065 km in just 174 days and 5 hours!

Safely downhill, full of confidence

Strong and stable frame

The Travelmaster 2.8 follows without hesitation. Even during super fast downhills on paved roads or unpaved mountain tracks it feels very reliable. It has a super strong frame, a steel front fork and exceedingly strong wheels, which make swaying impossible.

A crazy amount of luggage

Stable riding behaviour, even with a lot of luggage

You can fit the Travelmaster 2.8 with more than 40 kg* of luggage, divided over 5 bags. The strong, stiff frame and the steel front fork ride effortless over cobblestones and tree-roots. The fat tires give you lots of comfort.

*The carriers are not suitable for child's seats.
