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!
"The Santos with the world record around-the-world-by-bicycle"
Safely downhill, full of confidence
A crazy amount 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.
Low top tube possible
Reliable hydraulic rim brakes
For the Travelmaster 2.8 you can opt for the most reliable and durable gear system; Rohloff with beltdrive.
Care-free riding, little maintenance
Do you prefer to ride a lot of care-free kilometers? Choose the reliable and user friendly internal Rohloff gear hub with Santos belt drive. It transforms your Travelmaster 2.8 into a low-maintenance and super strong travel partner.
The Rohloff hub has 14 gears and is available in 6 colors.
Gates beltdrive
With the right belt and sprockets the bike's drive system is super durable. The Travelmaster 2.8 has this durable Santos belt drive. This means fixed dropouts (thus the certainty of a straight rear wheel) and Gates belt drive. It's the ultimate system for a lót of silent kilometers.
Your wishes and needs determine the frame of your choice. Do you expect to bring a lot of luggage? Do you prefer paved roads, single tracks or both? Santos offers a suitable frame for every purpose.
By the way, your frame is available in more than 50 colors!
Choose the kind of gear system you like. We offer the unique possibility to choose from various gear systems; opt for the reliable Rohloff hub or the low maintenance Pinion gear box.
Both Rohloff and Pinion can be selected with Gates belt or chain.
The finishing touch; handlebars, saddle, tires, rims, fenders, brakes, lights, front fork, grips, carriers ánd color! It's completely up to you; you decide íf you need it and what exactly you prefer. The result: your unique Santos.
