Capri bicycles, one for every lifestyle
Bicicletas Capri is a brand that combines the classic designs of the 70’s with the most advanced technology. Therefore, they are models with character, romanticism and comfort. In addition, you can find among them traditional proposals with pedals, with gears or electric, without giving up that nostalgic aftertaste of the traditional touring bikes.
Moreover, this Spanish brand manufactures the parts for all models in Europe, which is already a commitment to the highest quality. By purchasing one, you are not only choosing a unique style, but also making a responsible purchase. It didn’t need huge amounts of fuel to get it home.
We have prepared a small selection for you to discover the one that best suits your lifestyle.
Classic Dutch-style bicycle
Dutch style is ideal if you are looking for comfort and pragmatism in your everyday life. It is an elegant, geometric design in which you stand upright, in a comfortable and relaxed posture. It is perfect for short city trips, commuting to work or shopping. Almost all models are equipped with mudguards, lights and luggage racks.
The Capri Berlin touring bike is one of the most emblematic examples of this style. This is a high-end model with several colours for you to choose from. In addition to an outstanding price-performance ratio, it has the following features:
- Reliable and robust. It has seven speeds with a shifting system backed by a Shimano groupset. Moreover, it has a sealed bearing pedal axle.
- Resistance and versatility. The rims are double walled and the spokes are made of stainless steel. However, it is characterised by the width of the tyres, which are slightly larger than usual. Thus, although it is designed for city use, it also performs well in rural or gravel areas.
- Lightweight. Most of the components of this bike are made of aluminium. This ensures that it is impervious to weather and humidity and a lightweight bike that is very easy to carry.
Vintage style bicycle
Unlike Dutch-style bikes, vintage bikes have a somewhat sportier riding position. Not surprisingly, its handlebars are lower and slightly inclined forward. They also differ in the shape of the frame. They are dominated by the diamond shape rather than the characteristic U shape of the Dutch style.
On this occasion, we have chosen the vintage Capri Valentina bicycle. There are several bright colours to choose from, one of the hallmarks of these models. It has simple, refined lines, true to the classic concept. We talk about some of its features:
- Versatile. Although it is designed for city use, it is also perfect for rural environments. It has a Shimano groupset with six gears and wheels that adapt to different types of terrain.
- Lightweight. Weighs only 15.2 kg, so you can use it for long walks. We have achieved this through the predominance of high-quality aluminium components. This material also ensures high corrosion resistance and therefore durability.
- Rich in performance. It comes with a full range of standard equipment, including a parking stand, mudguards and chain guard. This prevents the chain from getting caught on your clothes. On the other hand, you can add a front basket that doesn’t get in the way of the headlight and a rear rack or saddle.
Folding bicycle
If you live in a confined space or need a bike that you can take with you on public transport, this is your best option. This bike folds up easily and is ideal for travelling in the car, and can also be enjoyed when camping or hiking.
The Capri VITA Melting folding bike is based on the design of the BH bikes from the 70s, which you may have been lucky enough to see around the house. It even has a comfortable spring saddle that respects the original appearance. We show you some of its particularities:
- Easy and fast folding. It has three easy-open type levers. One of them facilitates folding at the level of the central axis and the other two are on the handlebars and the saddle. This way, you can instantly adapt it to your taste or your height.
- Customisable. This model allows you to combine the colours of the saddle and grips as you wish. In addition, you can add a luggage rack at the rear.
- Fully updated. Although even the steel of this bike has a classic look, it is equipped with a six-speed system. The wheels are 20 inches and suitable for different types of terrain.
Electric bicycle
If you’re looking for a more comfortable way to get around town, an electric bike may be the best option for you. With its engine, it can help you get over hills and slopes without breaking a sweat. It can also reach speeds of up to 25 km/h, making it perfect for long journeys in the city.
The Capri Azur line of electric bicycles apply a love of classic design and technology. The new models are characterised by:
- Performance. It features disc brakes, an eight-speed gear system and an upgraded engine controller.
- Reliable. It features a rear hub motor with a very low failure rate and a state-of-the-art battery.
- Versatile wheels. They have an anti-puncture system and can be used on different types of terrain.
