At home on the world’s roads
Among bike travelers, the northern German manufacturer Böttcher is as well known as Bayern Munich is among soccer fans. The brand stands for individuality and high-quality touring bikes that can be adapted to individual needs thanks to practical features and numerous configuration options. Because like every trip, every rider is unique – whether body size, weight, payload, riding style, performance or geographical conditions. All these circumstances play a role in choosing the perfect touring bike and are taken into account at Böttcher – either in consultation with the local dealer or via the online bike configurator.
While many manufacturers rely on one and the same frame (and consequently frame material) for their models for cost reasons, this makes the biggest difference in the three Böttcher models: The classic touring bike Evolution Pinion is based on a comfortable Reynolds steel frame, the noble tourer Titanium Pinion is made of indestructible titanium and the frame of the trekking model Levante consists of lightweight aluminum.
