Canyon Unveils the Citylite:ON E-Bike: An Urban Marvel with Bosch Performance Motor and Carbon Belt Drive

Canyon has unveiled its latest Citylite and Citylite:ON bikes throughout the EMEA region, offering an exciting option for urban commuters and city dwellers alike. The Citylite:ON e-bike, tailored for city commuting and errands, boasts impressive features and a premium price point.

Crafted with a lightweight aluminum frame complemented by carbon forks, this e-bike is available in two styles: step-over and step-through. These variants weigh 22.1 kg (48.1 lbs) and 21.6 kg (47.6 lbs), respectively, making them a convenient choice for those on the go.

The Citylite:ON is powered by a robust 600 W Bosch Performance Line motor, coupled with a Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub gear, delivering up to 75 Nm of torque. Instead of the usual chain drive, it utilizes a low-maintenance Gates CDC belt drive system. A 400 Wh removable battery fuels the e-bike, promising up to 85 km (52.8 miles) of assistance in eco mode and 40 km (24.8 miles) in turbo mode.

For those needing extra mileage, Canyon offers a 250 Wh Powermore range extender, boosting the bike’s range by an additional 50 km (31 miles).

Additional features include a Bosch Purion 200 display, high-performance Canyon Promax urban clean disc brakes, a Supernova Starstream front light, and an M15 rear light with a brake light function. The wide Maxxis DTR-1 tires ensure stability, while the centrally positioned SP Connect SPC+E-Cap smartphone mount includes a wireless charging module for convenience.

Practicality is enhanced with accessories like the MIK HD rear luggage rack, a tow bar capable of carrying up to 60 kg (132.2 lbs), child seats, front luggage carriers, an Atran Velo Edge HV side stand, a frame lock, and a bottle holder mount.

In addition to the Citylite:ON, Canyon has introduced the Citylite bicycle, which features a Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gear and a Gates CDN belt drive. This model is lighter, with the step-over version weighing 15.94 kg (35.1 lbs) and the step-through variant at 15.88 kg (35 lbs).

Starting at €2,999 for the Citylite:ON and €1,499 for the Citylite, these bikes are now available for purchase through Canyon’s official website, offering a blend of style, functionality, and cutting-edge technology for urban cyclists.
