MOuNTAIN BIke
Watch the possibilities unfold before your eyes
With its patented folding mechanism, the Mercedes-Benz Folding Bike is perfect for use in the city, on yachting trips or on holiday. Once “unfolded” – a process
which takes a matter of seconds and does not involve getting your hands dirty – the versatile cycle offers plenty of enjoyment and comfort. The full-suspension
aluminium frame is highly robust and its distinctive design makes a dynamic impression. A further highlight is the two-stage folding mechanism: after the first
step of the folding process, the rear carrier remains in a horizontal position. The cycle can still be pushed and steered despite its reduced dimensions. To stow
the bike away, the handlebars and pedals are folded in.
Unique folding mechanism. After the first of
two folding stages, the Folding Bike can still be
pushed effortlessly. Your luggage or shopping can
also remain on the rear carrier.
Innovative frame. The new-design
full-suspension frame is made
from a particularly high-grade
aluminium alloy.
High-performance suspension.
The buckle-resistant suspension fork
and the rear shock ensure a smooth
ride.
FOLDING BIke
Extremely compact folded dimensions – take
it anywhere. After the second folding stage, the city
runabout measures around 800 x 800 x 280 mm –
making it very easy to transport.
Small bike, big possibilities. Perfect for an
active day out: the Folding Bike even fits in the
boot of many Cabriolet models.
You’re never too young for a Mercedes
Style isn’t something that depends on your age – especially not when it offers as much fun as the sleek Mercedes-Benz kids’ Bike. The intelligently designed
bike not only scores when it comes to smart looks and a full range of high-quality equipment, but is also highly adaptable: remove the bottom bracket and
chain and it can be transformed in next to no time into a trainer bike, allowing your youngsters to learn how to balance on two wheels. The kids’ Bike is
suitable for children aged between around 2 ½ (minimum stride 50 cm) and 6 and features 16-inch wheels. All kids’ Bikes are supplied with kickstands.
Trainer function. Remove the drive mechanism
and the kids’ Bike is instantly transformed into a
trainer bike, allowing your youngsters to discover
their sense of balance.

sporty-design aluminium frame, exclusively
developed for Mercedes-Benz and available with
a silver or red paint finish.

with its IAS size adjustment system, is a must for

while the integral red LeD makes sure the wearer
is noticed.

Not a gram overweight
Whether you’re a professional cyclist or serious amateur, the competition-standard carbon fibre racing bike from Mercedes-Benz, with an approximate weight
of just 7 kg, is designed to set your pulse racing. The highlight of this impressive racer is its ultra-lightweight carbon fibre frame, which is manufactured using
cutting-edge tube-to-tube processing. The frame is assembled from individual carbon fibre tubes which are initially bonded together. The joints are then
wrapped with carbon fibre and – in a process similar to that used in motor racing – cured by being subjected to high pressure and high temperatures. The
result is a sensational frame weight of around 1,200 g. Mercedes-Benz’s expertise in the field of lightweight design is perfectly complemented by a selection
of high-end components from premium Italian manufacturer Campagnolo.
Full carbon fork. Extremely precise and very
lightweight full carbon fork which, together with
the innovative frame, ensures excellent control.
Centaur™ Carbon Compact crankset.
The ultra-lightweight, highly buckle-resistant
carbon fibre crankset from Campagnolo directly
translates every movement into forward
propulsion – and looks phenomenal too. Further
highlights: an integral inner bearing with external
cups and high-quality aluminium chain rings.
Scirocco™-Black wheels. The Campagnolo
Scirocco™-Black wheels with oversize hub and
24 mm profile turn on a sealed high-precision
bearing. Radial spoking at the front and G3
spoking at the rear. The aero spokes reduce air
turbulence to a minimum, enhancing dynamic
handling in the process.

The perfect framework for your fitness regime
The all-rounder of the Mercedes-Benz Bike Collection not only helps you to keep in shape but cuts more than a dashing figure itself too. The concave curve
of the aluminium frame skilfully echoes design elements of the Mercedes-Benz car range. The bikes, available in “Sport” and “Comfort” versions, offer perfect
ergonomics plus top-class, innovative equipment: the Topeak Jango system, for example, which allows a diverse range of optional parts to be integrated
without the use of tools, is a worldwide innovation.
