City life is fast-paced and demanding, and the Storck Name:2 e-bike seems to understand this perfectly. Known for its high-performance road bikes, Storck has now ventured into the e-bike market, targeting those who navigate the urban jungle daily.
What makes the Storck Name:2 stand out is
its clever blend of compact design and sporty performance. Its size and shape
are reminiscent of a BMX bike, with 24-inch wheels that make it easy to zip
through crowded city streets. Despite its small size, it doesn’t compromise on
comfort. The tall seatpost and standard handlebars ensure a comfortable ride,
whether you’re commuting to work or just out for a leisurely ride.
But it’s not just about looks. The Name:2
is a powerhouse. It’s as light as a feather for an e-bike, weighing no more
than 17 kilograms. This is thanks to Storck’s innovative use of Carbon Fiber
Reinforced material, the same used in their race bikes. Plus, the Fazua Ride 50
Trail motor provides a whopping 50 Newton-meters of torque, making even the
steepest hills feel like a breeze.
For those who love a bit of tech in their
ride, the Name:2 doesn’t disappoint. It comes with a high-performance 12-speed
Shimano XT M8100 drivetrain, ensuring smooth gear transitions. Its Schwalbe Big
Ben tires are specifically chosen for city riding, offering a stable and secure
experience. However, it’s important to note that the Name:2 is strictly for
urban use. It doesn’t come with extras like luggage racks or mudguards, and its
price tag of about US$ 5,235 is hefty but somewhat justified for the set of
features it offers.
