Tip
Air pressure makes a huge difference while using the 27.5 inch wheels with 62 mm tires. If speed is your main goal, you are better off with more pressure. During slower travels with luggage comfort has more priority. In general we recommend a tire pressure between 1.7 and 2.7 bar, depending on your weight, your luggage and your goal.Durable transmission
Riding a lot, barely any maintenance
Two types of drives are possible on the Travelmaster 3+; Pinion and Rohloff.
Choose what suits you best.
Rohloff hub
12 or 18 speed
Santos belt drive
Care-free riding, little maintenance
Reliable Rohloff hub
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 3+ into a low-maintenance and super strong travel partner.
The Rohloff hub has 14 gears and is available in 6 colors.
12 or 18 gears
Low Maintenance Pinion gear system
You can also opt for the Pinion gear system. This type of transmission will be supplied with belt drive, which makes it a super durable and low maintenance combination. By default we mount the Pinion gear box with 12 gears, but 18 speed is also an option.
The Pinion box with 18 gears is available in 6 colors, choose the one that matches your bike.
Super stiff and more precise
Strenghtened Pinion bridge
For a durable transmission system a more precise Pinion fitting is of great importance. Therefore the Pinion frame of the Travelmaster 3+ has a strenghtened Pinion bridge, which ensures the (belt) drive to be silent and durable. You will also notice this when riding the bike; efficiency with every pedal stroke.
Gates beltdrive and Santos belt tensioner
Durable Santos beltdrive
With the right belt and sprockets the bike's drive system is super durable. For all its models Santos chooses the best parts and has developed its own belt tensioner. This tiny wheel for the Pinion box keeps the belt tensioned and is located near the bracket. This makes the system super user friendly; removing the rear wheel can be done in an instant.
The Travelmaster 3+ has this durable Santos belt drive. This means fixed dropouts (thus the certainty of a straight rear wheel), Gates belt drive and the Santos belt tensioner. It's the ultimate system for a lót of silent kilometers.
Santos dropout system
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. The Travelmaster 3+ suits your wishes now and those of the future.
Interchangeable parts, anywhere in the world
Every now and then we all break something. Whether that happens through an accident or on a plane, in Spain or Mexico; no need to worry. The Travelmaster 3+ is equiped with convenient details.
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 bottom bracket with BSA thread is available anywhere in the world.
Furthermore, we kept as many screw threads outside the frame. Such as the attachment of the kickstand, the bracket case, the split part for your belt and the disc brakes. In case you accidentaly 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 the 27.5 and the 28 inch wheels.

We mount the headlight on a Santos headlight bracket, this provides a clear, straight beam above your front wheel.
