This Birdy is ideal for fans of technology and touring enthusiasts. The 14 speed Rohloff hub has a wide range of evenly spaced non-overlapping gears making this an ideal touring model.
The absence of a derailleur helps to make this a robust bike and also results in it having the smallest folded profile of all our Birdys.
We are no longer importing Birdy Rohloffs as complete bikes. We are now suggesting the people get retailers to convert brand new standard Birdys into Rohloff Birdys. The simple reason is that it is cheaper to convert a brand new Birdy in a bike shop to a Rohloff Birdy, than it is to buy a pre-built Rohloff Birdy (strange but true).
This means that you have the option of converting from any of our standard Birdy line-up. Depending on which Birdy you convert from (typically Orange or Silver) the final price will be different. If you want to get a firm price, the best thing is to talk to your dealer about the options. All dealers have been sent an instruction page informing them how to convert Birdys to Rohloffs and the parts that they need.
The price range of $4200-$4900 for a converted Rohloff Birdy is quite wide but reflects which bike is being converted from. Talk with your dealer for more details.
