Stylishly practical
We’ve also designed the RHeO 3 ST to be your perfect partner for daily life and loaded it with the equipment to help you breeze through it all: tough alloy rack, full mudguards, a ‘dropper’ seatpost let's you raise and lower the saddle as you need for easy on- and offs, and built-in lights powered from the main battery so you'll always be able to see – and be seen. Weighing just 17.2kg (size L) it's also easy to lift and live with, too.
