What is a high frame for?
A higher frame is more rigid than a low frame and offers more dynamic performance to cyclists who are in a hurry...

Drivetrain
Your Elops 540 comes with a Shimano NEXUS 7-speed hub. It's the very best in terms of fluidity - even when stopped or on hills - to make changing gear much easier.
The internal-gear hub means less maintenance, no rust, no malfunctions, no injuries and no dirt.
Brakes
For efficient, safe braking, we have equipped your bike with aluminium front and rear calliper V-brakes.
Handlebar / stem / steering
"The Elops 540 is equipped with a steering damper in addition to aluminium handlebars with an ergonomic geometry and an aluminium damper stem (for less weight).
The result? You are more comfortable while riding and the handlebars do not swing to the side once you lean the bike on the stand."
A steel seat post and a comfortable saddle
"The steel seat post further absorbs vibrations and the screw-in seat clamp collar limits the risk of theft. And the seat? This is our favourite part: after numerous tests, we created this wide seat with hard foam adapted at the pressure points of the glutes on the seat.
Why this one? Because it is by far the most comfortable!"
Wheels
The Elops 540 has 28-inch wheels with raw aluminium double-walled rims (sturdy). To protect your spokes and avoid flat tyres, we recommend inflating your tyres to a pressure between 3.5 and 4.5 bars. And to prevent the risk of theft during your activities in town, the wheel is attached with a locknut hub.
Tyre
"We chose very wide tyres (45mm) so that you can ride comfortably in town: a smooth rolling bike that can easily drive over small obstacles along the way. Not even cobblestones, sewer drains, potholes, or tramway rails can make you lose your balance!
The Skinwall tyres are lighter, more comfortable, reinforced and equipped with a reflective strip.
Inner tubes are equipped with car valves: you can inflate your tires at a service station.
Accessories and fittings to make your journey easier:
"We added a couple of details to make your urban rides easier:
The stand is on the rear wheel to stay out of the way while pedalling. The pannier rack holds 27 kg (the standard for fitting a child seat).
With the AXA front and back automatic hub dynamo lights (they turn on and adjust their brightness to suit the light levels), there's no more messing around charging batteries before setting off, and no more of the noise you'd get from a "bottle" dynamo
Compatibility
"You can add VIOO CLIP lights (sold separately) to the ends of your handlebars to be visible from every angle.
We have also added space for a frame lock and a folding lock.
Your bike is compatible with the entire B'Twin range of travel bags so that you can ride without carrying anything in your hands.
Finally, we have taken special care to create a pannier rack that meets all safety standards so that you can mount your child seat with peace of mind.
A bike designed for everyday use in town
"Obviously, we wanted to offer a beautiful bike. But also a comfortable, practical, reliable bike. For example:
A slightly curved fork for absorbing the vibrations of cobblestones.
Double elastic band in the basket for holding your lock.
A Z-type reflector on the pannier rack for you to stay visible in all situations.
Come try this bike to discover its abundance of carefully designed details!"
The mudguard and chain guard will protect you from dirty roads in bad weather.
We are proud to present...
"...a bike that we entirely redesigned ourselves. And in order to get there, there was a 4-person design team, many discussions with components engineers, mock-ups, prototypes, and huge numbers of tests over the course of 4 years.
We have designed a more robust bike where all of its parts are available from our after-sales service.
And in the end, we are thrilled to offer a bike that is both elegant and simply comfortable to make all of your urban outings more joyful :)
