The Pandurban

The Pandurban Max

 

 

 

 

The Renovo Pandurban Commuter

Designed for the mean streets, the rugged Pandurban tames unruly urban pavement with a smooth, near-suspension ride. It accomplishes this without the weight of suspension thanks to its lightweight, super-tough, laminated bamboo frame. Complimenting the frame is a graceful steel fork that laughs at potholes and railroad tracks. Disc brakes deliver outstanding stopping power even when wet, and the kickstand lets you park anywhere. Reflective sidewall, puncture-resistant 700c x 32mm tires keep the air in, and they deliver a sure-footed grip without the drag of fat tires. Shifting gears is quick and effortless with the twist grip shifter. The Pandurban delivers you and your stuff with such confidence, style, comfort and performance, you’ll be inventing errands just to hang out with it.

It’s available with two drivetrain options and two levels of equipment to match your mission.

 

The Fully Equipped, All Season Pandurban Max.

This Pandurban is built for commuting in the worst conditions Portland offers; rain, darkness, slush and traffic. High-intensity lights automatically turn on when you ride, and stay on several minutes after you stop. You never worry about batteries or bulbs, because it has a built-in generator and LED lights. It has full fenders to keep the wet, mud and dirt at bay, and a serious, heavy-duty rack that sports a wide range of accessory top bags and panniers to carry as much stuff as you need. It’s available in natural or caramelized laminated bamboo, with two drivetrain options.

Price with: Derailleur, $1775       Internal Hub: $1950    

 

The Pandurban Lite:

The same smooth ride and reliable, bullet-proof character as the Pandurban Max, without:

  1. Fenders
  2. Rack
  3. Internal hub generator
  4. Internal wiring and Lights

Some folks don’t need these things, so without them the Pandurban Lite weighs several pounds less than the Max, which gives it a more sporty nature; just grab your bag, blinkies and go. Available in natural or caramelized bamboo, with two drivetrain options.

Price with: Derailleur, $1450       Internal Hub: $1625 


Drivetrain Options:

These drivetrain options both use twist-grip shifters and have a similar wide range of gears to handle hills or hurry-up, as needed.

  • SRAM iMotion 9 speed internal hub transmission enables you to shift gears while stopped and encloses the entire gear train inside the rear hub, reducing maintenance; a real benefit if you ride through dirt or mud.
  • SRAM 9 speed rear derailleur. This is a standard rear derailleur, also low maintenance in clean conditions. Rain or wet is no problem.  It weighs about 2.5 lbs less than the internal hub.
