Product details
Dominated by the chunky Schwalbe Fat Frank tires, the Townie Balloon is a real eye-catcher, and the tires offer much more than just good looks: they provide a lot of comfort and easily smooth out bumps thanks to their volume, while still maintaining low rolling resistance and being particularly puncture-resistant due to a Kevlar insert. In addition to the high-tech tires, the Townie Balloon 8D features 8 gears, offering a wide range of gearing options for longer rides with ups and downs or for journeys off the beaten path.
Above all, the Townie bikes are characterized by their frames with patented Flat Foot Design. Despite the relaxed, upright seating position, the Townie allows for optimal pressure on the pedals. Fast rides in such a comfortable posture are only possible with this frame design!.
