Superdelite Key Features
Dual-battery Long Distance Power & Control
Powerful Drive options
The Riese & Müller Superdelite5 is powered by the latest Gen5 Bosch Performance Line CX motor, offering 120Nm of torque for powerful and efficient assistance on steep inclines and varied terrains. Riders can choose from the low-maintenance Enviolo hub with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive and the advanced Rohloff E-14 Speedhub for seamless electronic shifting.
Unbeatable range
The Superdelite5 features Riese & Müller’s DualBattery Technology, combining an 800 Wh and a 400 Wh PowerTube battery for a total capacity of 1,200 Wh. This setup delivers exceptional range, making it perfect for long-distance rides and multi-day adventures without frequent recharging.
Comfort and adventure
The Superdelite5 is equipped with Riese & Müller’s Control Technology, featuring full suspension with an active rear swing arm and optimised front suspension. This ensures exceptional comfort and stability, making it ideal for both long-distance touring and adventurous off-road explorations.
Belt Driven
Available with premium drivetrain options, including the low-maintenance Enviolo hub paired with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive for smooth, quiet, and hassle-free operation. For super-reliable and durable performance, the Rohloff E-14 Speedhub provides electronic shifting with a wide gear range, perfect for tackling challenging terrains and long tours.
Riese and Muller Superdelite FAQs
The Superdelite is built for riders who want to go further - touring, adventuring, or commuting long distances in complete comfort. Its dual-battery setup and full suspension make it perfect for exploring any terrain with confidence and ease.
The Superdelite5 carries a DualBattery 1,200 Wh system as standard on every model: a Bosch CompactTube 400 and a Bosch PowerTube 800, both fully integrated
into the frame. It is one of the longest-range e-bikes you can buy. Range depends on terrain, weather and assist level, but it covers multi-day tours between charges. As a rough guide, expect 70 to 120 miles.
Three, and the third one changes what the bike legally is.
Vario: Enviolo continuously variable hub with a Gates CDX belt. Smooth, low
maintenance, nothing to shift.
Rohloff: Rohloff E-14 14-speed electronic hub with a Gates CDX belt. Built for
heavy loads, steep gradients and riders who want maximum durability.
Rohloff HS: the same Rohloff drivetrain with Bosch's Performance Line Speed
motor, assisting to 45 km/h (28 mph) instead of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). In the UK
that makes it a speed pedelec rather than an e-bike, which means registration,
insurance and a licence, and it cannot be used on cycle paths. Call us before
you order one and we will talk you through what owning one involves.
The Superdelite5 uses Riese & Müller's Control Technology full suspension: a Fox
AWL 34 fork with 120 mm of travel at the front, and a Fox Float Rhythm shock with 110 mm at the rear. A dropper seatpost (X-Fusion Manic) is fitted as standard on every model, so you can drop the saddle at a junction without getting off the bike.
Riese & Müller's published weights run from 34.3 kg for the Rohloff to 35.2 kg for the Vario, both measured in size Medium. A real bike can be heavier: an Extra Large Vario is 35.7 kg. The gross vehicle weight rating is 160 kg with a maximum rider weight of 120 kg, and the rear carrier is rated to 27 kg. It is
approved for two-wheel trailers and compatible child seats.
Yes. The rear rack supports most child seats, and the frame is rated for two-wheel trailers (one-wheel trailers are not approved).
Tagalong trailer bikes are not approved.
If you want ultimate range, comfort and build quality in one package, the Superdelite is the top choice. It’s designed for riders who plan serious journeys, value reliability over the years, and prefer a “no-compromise” e-bike experience.
The Superdelite5 comes in Medium, Large and Extra Large, all on 27.5-inch
wheels. Riese & Müller dropped the centimetre labels for 2027: a 47 cm is now
Medium, a 51 cm is Large and a 56 cm is Extra Large. The frames have not
changed, only the names.
