The Birdy city premium is fitted with the high quality Shimano Nexus Premium hub gear. This hub runs with very low friction thanks to upgraded bearings, and is noticeably lighter. The Premium hub is only available
in a freewheel version, and is marked by the red band on the hub body. So the city premium behaves just like a derailleur bike when you pedal backwards. The powerful V-brakes provide more than sufficient control and
safety. It's the Birdy everyone wants: reliable, true, and with all of the qualities that characterise this multi award-winning bike.
