Raleigh Mustang Comp Electric Road Bike
Let’s face it: this is a really cool, quick electric road bike that can handle gravel as well as road with ease and at speed. Just remember the motor cuts out at 25km/h – after that, you’re on your own!
Features of the Mustang Comp
This bike is about comfort and speed. You can sit in a tucked position with the drop handlebars and with the Shimano Steps E6000 crank motor pushing you along, can keep up with your cycling friends even as they sweat out the miles under their own power.
The aluminium frame and carbon forks make for a very light electric bike that can be ridden even without power assist at a decent pace.
Eleven speed Shimano Assist gearing on an 11-42t cassette will enable you to put your energy into the bike and extend its overall power assisted range to as much as 100 miles – not a bad distance for a day in the saddle. The 400Wh battery gives this the juice to ride for hours and hours, and sat low on the frame keeps the weight close to the road.
For speed control, Sram Apex hydraulic disc brakes sitting on 160mm rotors will show you why so many pros have already gone from Vee brakes to discs. You can adjust your braking so much more finely and you won’t feel brake fade even on the longest and hardest of descents – let alone in wet weather.
You may be a commuter who doesn’t want to break a sweat on the way to work yet enjoys a blast at the weekend, or you love a good racing bike yet may not feel up to staying up with your cycling buddies due to injury or simply age. In all these cases (and more) the Raleigh Mustang is a great machine for you.
