« Souplesse - the art of pedalling » “A round pedal stroke is considered a key technique for riding a bicycle effectively. Every turn of the pedals should be relaxed, easy and fluid à la souplesse – with e-support at the touch of a button if necessary.” MTB Cycletech 2020
Velosophy
As an independent bicycle manufacturer, we at
MTB Cycletech have been following our own path since
1984. Motivation, quality and timeless design form the
guard rails, innovations and pioneering achievements are
the results of our persistent work. Out of a love for detail,
we develop our products ourselves from the ground up and
redesign them time and again to ensure that they always
meet the highest demands for efficiency and suitability for
daily use. Customisation is our service for the customer;
development, assembly and sales on-site are our strate-
gy for flexibly accommodating individual requests. It is,
after all, the satisfaction of our customers that drives us
in our daily work as well as the challenges of a constantly
changing mobility. With this inspired way of thinking and
working, we have always been creating freedom. And this
should remain so in the future as well.

Pinion gearbox transmissions
The idea behind the Pinion central gearbox was born in the Porsche gearbox development centre in
Weissach (Germany). The founders were driven by the aim of developing a bicycle transmission that
functions as intuitively, precisely and as wear-free as a sports car. We have been using Pinion gear-
boxes on our models for seven years. With the Souplesse series, the C-Line with 9 and 12 gears with
Gates belt is used in addition to a GRX 1x11 derailleur system. In combination with a rear motor, this
results in harmonious riding comfort, thereby reducing wear on the drive. «The new shape of shifting».

Shimano derailleur system
Shimano’s new groupset is the first one designed especially for use on unpaved roads. Here, the Japanese
engineers combine proven road and mountain bike technologies to create gravel-specific components
under the name «GRX». What works off-road is also suitable for daily use in the city. With the Souplesse,
we use the mechanical model with 1x11 drivetrain. In combination with Deore brakes, this is a group that
is ready for serious everyday use and also offers outstanding durability.
