The combination of hub gearing and belt drive guarantees the least possible maintenance effort for a bike. Shimano Alfine hubs as well as the hydraulic Shimano disc brakes guarantee longevity and worldwide supply over a long period of time. Made in Germany also ensures a high quality level for the whole bike.
Explanations of the model designation: "Lite" means street version (without suspension fork), "evo" means version with disc brakes.
Why buy this bike?
The weather in Switzerland is always a challenge to consider when buying a bike - especially if you don't have a bike room, often a given in cities with many older houses like Basel, Winterthur, Zurich, Bern etc. The equipment of the Premium 8.0 is designed to cope with these challenges. And for frequent use in the city for riders who also appreciate a extremely reliable bike.
This is supplemented with a bright light (hub dynamo) and the usual everyday and comfort parts from mudguards to luggage racks to Ergo saddles and the "unpenetrable" Schwalbe tires.
There are few bikes that require as little service / self-maintenance. The two key components for this are the drive and the brakes:
Gates toothed belt & Alfine gear hub
Instead of a chain, this bike has a belt drive. Compared to a chain, the belt can't rust, has about 1.5 times the service life and does not require any lubrication. That's also why there are never any oil stains on clothing.
In combination with this, Gudereit mounts a Shimano Alfine 8-speed gear hub. The big advantage of a hub gear is that all shifting parts are hidden inside the wheel hub - and thus protected from the weather and external impacts. The 8 gears have a range comparable to a 24-speed sprocket gearing, more than enough for city use and the occasional excursion.
The Shimano disc brake
There is also a Shimano MT401 disc brake. Not only does a disc enable more braking power than a rim brake, it also allows the use of harder materials and thus slower wear. Even frequent riders with a house on top of a hill will rarely have to change pads every year, and brake safely to work in every season of the year.
