Santos Cross Lite with Gebla Rohbox / Brifter combo for Rohloff SPEEDHUB
Santos has become the first OEM manufacturer to offer a Rohloff SPEEDHUB equipped bicycle with the new Gebla shift box as standard. The Gebla Rohbox is a new construction which replaces the standard SPEEDHUB cable box and enables the use of any trigger/brifter lever (once index pawl is removed) to shift the SPEEDHUB. This has obvious benefits - especially for dropbar use where cyclists are able to retain the ergonomic cycling position they are used to from traditional derailleur transmissions.
All Gebla Rohbox equipped bicycles regardless of flat- or dropbar models, such as the Cross Lite, will make use of the External Gear Mech SPEEDHUB variants.
The Cross Lite is a multifunctional road bike - light, fast yet strong and stable enough for light touring use. The Cross Lite is fitted out with high quality disc brakes and comfortable drop bars which create both a sporty cross/gravel bike as well as a competent road and off-road machine.
A Sneak Preview of this new model can be seenthis weekend (16th-19th of October) at the Bike Motion expo in Utrecht - Santos Booth #11.C004.
