Efficient and strong
Ultrareliable Rohloff hub
The Rohloff internal speed hub offers a carefree cycing experience far off the beaten track. It will lead you to and from all corners of the world. A litte oil is all it ever needs. The combination Rohloff hub + Santos belt drive has been a succesful one ever since 2009.

Silent and smooth
High precision Pinion gearbox
Pinion is modeled after proven automobile transmission technology and offers an ultra wide gear range. It is centrally integrated in the bicycle frame, wear-free, and extremely reliable. The unique combination with a Santos belt drive makes it super durable and very low maintenance.
The Pinion box offers 12 or 18 gears and is available in 5 colors.
Travel bikes with power
E-bike ready
The Travelmaster 3+ is designed with the future in mind. It is E-bike ready. This means the bike can be converted into an E-bike whenever you wish to do so.
It has a strong motor and a large battery for a long riding range. We have opted for a modular system to offer you maximum flexibility. Both now and later.
Powerful hydraulic disc brakes
The strongest brakes with the most powerful braking power. Ready for long downhills. Depening on your goals, we offer different types of discs.
The Hope disc brakes have 4 pistons and extra large (203 mm) and extra thick (3.5 mm) discs.
Or go for the hydraulic Shimano XT disc brakes with 180 mm discs. Choose what suits you best.
Robust hydraulic rim brakes
The hydraulic rim brakes by Magura are robust and durable. They brake firmly and directly and are easy to dose. With the control wheel attached to the brake lever you can easily adjust the braking power; either more aggressively or with a more friendly stroke.
Changing brake pads is a piece of cake: no tools are needed and it's done within 5 minutes.
Powerful brakes
The Santos 2-in-1 brake booster is the only booster that allows you to mount the hydraulic Magura brakes on a 27,5 inch wheel with 62mm tires and mudguards. It is lighter and provides more braking power. It is a brake booster and mounting plate in one. Made of aluminum, so it won't rust. Good to know: it is easy to change and simple to use.
Plugless hub dynamo
If you opt for SON lighting, you get a beautiful headlight with a wide and clear beam. This is a distinctive feature of the SON headlights. The connection to the hub dynamo is plugless, which makes it easy to take out the wheel. We mount the lamp on a Santos light bracket. so it shines perfectly over your tire and remains neatly upright.
The SON lamps are available in 6 colors, just like the corresponding hub dynamo and rear lamp.
Convenient dropout system
The rear dropout on our Travelmaster 3+ is also suitable for derailleur. With this non-fixed derailleur part you can easily switch to another transmission system.
Standardized parts, available all over the world
We all break things from time to time. No need to worry when that happens. We have designed the Travelmaster 3+modularly with as many standardized parts as possible. In the rare case that something breaks down, you will still be able to get it fixed. Even on the other side of the world.
For instance, we mount the Hydraulic Magura rim brakes on standardized cantilever inserts. These fit the commen V-brakes too. And cables are guided outside the frame to make replacing the brakes easy for you.
The headset and the quick releases have a standard size. The square bracket with BSA thread is also available anywhere in the world.
Furthermore, we have kept as much screw thread outside the frame as possible. Such as the attachment of the kickstand, the bracket case, the split part for your belt and the disc brakes. If you accidentally tighten a bolt too hard, you only have to replace that particular part and your frame is still intact.
Last but not least, the Travelmaster 3+ fits both 27.5 and 28 inch wheels.
