    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    @David Berry SuperHomage has a certain ring to it 😄. The SD Mountain weighs the same as the Delite so the carrier/mudguards etc sure weigh a few kg’s!. There really is no reason why they could not give the weight for each configuration from a web tech perspective so I feel it is a bit of...

    Alternative tyres for Superdelite - optimised for puncture resistance

    Touch wood...our less than puncture proof Rock Razors have survived 8 months of mostly gravel/off road riding without a single puncture x two bikes. Either good luck or The Tannus Armour actually works as advertised.

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    The SUV tag comes mainly due to the weight, and the versatility of the Homage - capable tourer, rambler, commuter, and light MTB. Looking forward to hearing your feedback when it arrives - I am expecting quite a few superlatives. On the road it feels sound and secure. At first it might feel...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    The Homage will handle the riding conditions you describe @Peter K just fine. They will have tested it extensively. The two owners are engineers and have a fine reputation to maintain. I work with a few engineers and as a profession they tend to be meticulous as a general rule! It is no...

    2019–2020 R&M Homage : Riders' Impressions

    Ive gone the same way and am liking the larger platform. Haven't tried them yet on any single track to see how they impact on riding through ruts, but given my feet are larger they may have minimal impact.

    The waiting is tough, but it will soon be behind you. Congrats on the new bike. Fun times await you.

    Add a dropper post to the list of options also - no Fox upgrade however.

    New 2021Homage and Nevo 3 on order

    Don’t get your hopes up @Mark Mark I don’t think Fox will be an option for 2021.

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Yeah, just needs the Fox and I think they will have hit the sweet spot for many riders.

    R&M Charger 3 or Delite - decision to make

    Alaskan, I’ve read many of your posts and learned a lot. You have long time experiences on R-M bikes. Does R-M increase price on Sept 1 every year for next year model? I’m planning to buy a SD HS Rohloff. Is it better to order it before Sept 1 to avoid increase in the price? The reason I haven’t...

    Are you going to buy a Riese & Müller?

    @David Berry my wife's 2020 Homage has so far been reliable, except both her bike and my Delite have thrown 504 errors - supposedly because we had modded the bikes when we haven't - mine has done it twice. So far R&M and Bosch are saying nothing is wrong, and we must have modded our bikes...

    Are you going to buy a Riese & Müller?

    I haven't any more details unfortunately, and I suspect the frame will be larger to accommodate the batteries, if what I heard is correct. Dropper post and Gen 4 as well.

    On another note, it sounds like the 2021 Homage is getting 2 side by side batteries in the frame if you choose the two battery option - gone is the one internal and one external.

    What a fine piece of kit that is! Each speaker has 4x 160watt amps built in to drive the three cones (1 x tweeter, 1 x mid, 2 x base) 😇 https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/speakers/beolab-20

    Superdelite pros and cons - Worth it the extra weight?

    Hi @John2911 I am planning to upgrade to a dual battery model - where can you purchase the covers from? Is this something my LBS can order from R&M?

    Superdelite pros and cons - Worth it the extra weight?

    Hi Steve. I ride blue singletrack occasionally on my Delite GX with Fox. It is no mountain bike and I go around jumps and similar technical trail features (I have found air a few times but prefer not to). It does rock gardens pretty good, just not at speed - or at least I am too old and wise...

    Superdelite pros and cons - Worth it the extra weight?

    Hi @steve mercier , just curious as to why you think this would be a better off road bike? Is it just the weight difference, or are there other factors in terms of geometry (including ground clearance) and equipment that lead you to this conclusion? Cheers.

    R&M are currently hosting a 5 day online event for LBS's in lieu of their event they normally host in Germany. We should here in the next few days. On another forum (I think?) some mentioned that news was the Homage was getting Gen 4 motor + dropper post option and up to 1125wh battery capacity.
