Riese & Müller Multicharger4: a midtail for long-distance touring

Factory order only, from 2027. Riese & Müller build the Multicharger4 to order at their factory in Mühltal. Test bikes reach us in February 2027 and customer deliveries begin in March 2027. To order one, or to hear when you can ride one here at Little Dartmouth, get in touch.

The Multicharger4 is a touring bike with a midtail's back end. It rides like one of our trekking bikes, and it carries the tent, the stove and the food for a week away on a rear rack rated to 80 kg, without a trailer. We sold a lot of Superchargers to touring riders over the years, and this scratches the same itch with far more room on the back.

If you are comparing, it sits between our Charger5, the trekking bike, and our Load5, the cargo bike. And when the trip includes the children, the same bike takes two child seats.

Riese & Müller Multicharger4 – Cargo Kit Edition

The Ultimate Off-Road Grand Tourer

The Riese & Müller Multicharger4 Cargo Kit transforms the versatile midtail cargo platform into an all-terrain grand tourer built for off-road bikepacking expeditions and long-distance travel. Combining the agile handling and sleek frame design of the Charger5 trekking bike with a massive 200 kg total weight capacity, this midtail lets you haul serious gear across dirt tracks, gravel roads, and backcountry routes without losing stability or control.

Built for Grand Touring & Off-Road Exploration

  • High-Capacity Cargo Kit Included: Equipped with two high-volume cargo panniers made of water-repellent, hard-wearing material with roll closures, plus an integrated top tube bag for rapid access to essentials.

  • Offroad Kit Ready: Upgradeable with the optional Offroad Kit (Fat Tire All-Terrain) for maximum grip and confidence over gravel, dirt, and rough surfaces.

  • 1,600 Wh DualBattery Power: Comes standard with a Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery and can be configured with an additional side-removable PowerPack 800 for up to 1,600 Wh of energy for multi-day wilderness range.

  • Reinforced Frame Stiffness: Engineered with solid cast frame components around the head tube and motor mount, delivering superior rigidity and steady handling under heavy loads.

  • All-Terrain Suspension & Brakes: Features an SR Suntour SF26 Mobie35 Boost suspension fork (80 mm travel) to cushion trail chatter, paired with Magura MT5 / MT4 hydraulic disc brakes for stopping power under full load.

  • Lowered Top Tube Ergonomics: Lowered frame height makes mounting and dismounting safe and effortless on loose or uneven terrain.

  • Stable Bipod Stand: A heavy-duty double-leg kickstand keeps the bike rock-solid and upright when loading heavy panniers on trailside ground.

Cargo Equipment & Carrying Capacity

  • Cargo Bags: Two heavy-duty, water-repellent panniers featuring roll-top closures, inner/outer organizer pockets, and high-visibility reflective elements.

  • Top Tube Frame Bag: Custom-fitted inside the frame triangle for easy access to tools and electronics.

  • Heavy-Duty Rear Rack: Rated for up to 80 kg, integrated with the MIK HD system for attaching extra cargo bags or crates.

  • Optional Front Rack Integration: Add a Cargo Front Carrier (8 kg rating) or an MIK-compatible front carrier with bag to balance gear distribution.

Off-Road Drivetrain Options

  • Multicharger4 touring: Bosch Cargo Line CX motor, 800 Wh PowerTube, and a durable 10-speed Shimano Cues Linkglide derailleur drive system built for crisp gear shifts under load.

  • Multicharger4 vario / automatic: Bosch Cargo Line CX motor with a low-maintenance Gates CDX carbon belt drive and Enviolo Utility hub (manual or automatic shifting options).

  • Multicharger4 vario HS / rohloff HS: High-speed 45 km/h (28 mph) S-Pedelec models powered by the Bosch Performance Line Speed motor. The rohloff HS variant adds the electronic Rohloff E-14 EBS 14-speed hub for extreme gear range on steep off-road climbs.

  • Refundable until confirmation: Your deposit is fully refundable up to the moment you confirm the final specification with us.
  • Balance: The remaining balance is due before the delivery of your bike.
  • Our review call/email: We’ll contact you within one working day (Tue–Fri) to check sizing, drivetrain choice (Touring/Vario/Rohloff), battery setup (single/dual), cockpit (Kiox/Nyon), ABS, racks/tyres, and any accessories.
  • Lead time: We’ll share an estimated delivery window and flag any options that may extend it.
  • Changes before confirmation: You can change or cancel your build; your deposit is refunded if you decide not to proceed.


After confirmation: We place the order with the factory and keep you updated through to assembly/PDI and delivery or collection. If circumstances change materially (e.g., a factory constraint on your agreed spec), we’ll discuss alternatives with you, including the option to cancel.

We'll be in contact within one working day (Tuesday to Friday) after your order to finalise any details before it is sent to the factory.

For a factory-built bike, the right drivetrain, battery configuration, cockpit, and accessories depend on your height, terrain, load, and maintenance preferences. A quick checkout can’t capture those trade‑offs.

The small, refundable 2% deposit simply holds your place while we do a one‑to‑one review with you. We make sure the spec fits your riding, flag any options that affect lead time or price, and confirm an ETA. You’re in control -we won’t place the order until you give the final go‑ahead.

Learn about the Multicharger4

Built for the long way round

Riese & Müller describe the Multicharger4 as the Charger5 design meeting the midtail concept, and that is how it rides: the handling of a trekking bike with a longer, stronger back end. A lowered top tube makes it easy to get on and off a loaded bike at a gate or a campsite, and the new angle-adjustable stem lets you set the cockpit up for a long day.

Range for multi-day trips

The touring, vario, automatic and both HS versions run a Bosch PowerTube 800, and the DualBattery option adds a side-removable PowerPack 800 for 1,600 Wh in total. The entry-level Family has a PowerTube 540. The touring, vario and automatic use Bosch's Performance Line CX: 85 Nm as standard, and up to 120 Nm with the optional Bosch Performance Upgrade 2.0 for loaded climbs. RX Chip GPS tracking is standard, with a year of ConnectCare included.

Room for the whole camp

The bike is rated to 200 kg all in, with up to 80 kg on the rear rack, up from 160 kg and 65 kg on the Multicharger3. A front carrier with the MIK system and a bag is an option, and the 25 km/h models are approved to pull a two-wheel trailer. A new double-leg kickstand holds it all steady while you load.

Kit it for the trip

Riese & Müller offer five equipment kits. For touring, the Cargo kit adds two large cargo bags and a top tube bag, and the Cargo kit Plus a sideloader, the Safety Bar and lower weather protection with a cover. When the trip includes children, the Family kits add the Safety Bar, which opens downwards so they can climb on by themselves, and seat cushions.

Still want a Multicharger3?

The Multicharger3 has not been discontinued. It continues in the 2027 price list alongside the Multicharger4, in both standard and Mixte frames, and because it is the current generation it delivers a good deal sooner than March 2027. If you want a midtail this year rather than next, talk to us and we will go through the differences.
