Specifications
Ourosborus CR/DL
“Traditional look and feel”: The bike sticks to classic gravel geometry and aesthetics no suspension, no dropper post, just clean lines and purposeful design.
“Lightweight features”: Built with a carbon frame and fork, it’s optimized for speed and efficiency without unnecessary bulk.
“Sacred characteristics of a drop bar bike”: This refers to the bike’s commitment to the classic road/gravel setup: drop handlebars, rigid frame, and efficient gearing.
“Closer gear steps”: The SRAM Rival 12-speed drivetrain uses a 10-36t cassette, which means the jumps between gears are smaller. This helps you maintain a consistent pedaling rhythm (cadence), especially useful when climbing or carrying gear.

Questions
Riding in Brussels? Here's what people ask us most. Something else? Ask us.
Can I test ride before buying?
Yes. Come by the shop in Laeken, Tuesday to Saturday, and try the bikes we have in stock. Book a test ride to make sure your model and size are ready.
Which bike handles Brussels' hills and cobbles?
Brussels is hillier than it looks. For daily climbs, choose an e-bike with a mid-drive motor and wider tyres that cope with cobbles and tram rails. Tell us your route and we'll suggest the right motor, battery and gearing, then you can try it on a test ride.
How do I protect my bike against theft in Brussels?
Use two good locks, for example a frame lock plus a solid U-lock or chain attached to something fixed. Register your frame number with MyBike, and at home look for a secure bike box or bike parking in your commune. Ask us about locks and theft insurance when you buy.
Can I lease this bike?
Yes, through your employer or as self-employed via o2o, Cyclis, b2bike, Lease a Bike or Joule. It's up to 40% cheaper than buying. How leasing works.
Do I get a bike allowance for cycling to work?
Most employees who cycle to work are entitled to a bike allowance from their employer, electric bikes included. In 2026 it is tax-free up to €0.37 per km, capped at €3,690 a year. Your sector or company sets the exact amount.
What's the difference between an e-bike and a speed pedelec?
An e-bike assists you up to 25 km/h: no number plate, no licence, helmet recommended. A speed pedelec assists up to 45 km/h and needs a number plate, insurance, a helmet and an AM driving licence (a car licence includes it). Not sure which suits your commute? Ask us.
Is the bike ready to ride when I pick it up?
Yes. Our workshop assembles, checks and adjusts every bike to your size before you collect it at the Laeken shop.
Who services my bike after I buy it?
Our in-house workshop in Laeken. Bring your bike in for a check-up, repair or warranty question, and we deal with the brand for you.
Can I return my bike?
