What if you could just jump on your bike in the morning and go? With its low-maintenance Shimano 8-speed hub gears, understated frame, full carbon fork and elegantly integrated Bosch SX drive system, the Editor Hybrid SLX 400X will always be ready. The grippy, fast-rolling Schwalbe Motion Big Apple 50mm tyres help take the buzz out of poorly maintained city streets, whilst powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give you safe stopping power, come rain or shine, and the built-in 400Wh battery gives you all the urban range you need. Leaving the car behind never looked so attractive.
Frame description
Its looks are familiar, but the Editor Hybrid’s Trapeze frame is full of unfamiliar clever touches. The lightweight, durable aluminium frame makes use of Smooth Welding at the main tube joints – so it has a clean, almost organic appearance. Cables are fully integrated to complement the uncluttered aesthetic, and we placed the 400Wh battery unobtrusively in the down tube and incorporated the mini controller in the top tube. Meanwhile the full carbon fork is light, strong and suits the frame’s pared-back aesthetic. It’s ready for the urban jungle.
