Riese & Muller Homage ebike: 2021

September 08, 2020

One of Riese & Muller’s signature ebikes, the Riese & Muller Homage has undergone a complete redesign for the 2021 season. A cleaner, more striking design integrates a smaller, stronger motor and the battery upgrades mean you can travel further than ever. More customisation options are available this year making the Homage one of the most versatile and highest performing ebikes in the range.

The Riese & Muller Homage – unique, a game changer

The Homage is a unique bike in the bicycle world. Unusually, it is a low-step dual suspension bike that handles as capably offroad as it does onroad. A striking bike to look at, the comfort and stability you experience as a rider is incredible. The Homage is the ebike that allows those who want the best in comfort, power and handling to undertake long-distance touring and bikepacking as well as enjoy your every day riding.

There are three base models to choose from with the Riese & Muller Homage and being a premium ebike in the Riese & Muller range it comes equipped with top extra features already. However this year the customisation options offered for the Homage are broader, allowing you to choose between a sporty or comfort set up, onroad or offroad, ultra-long distance tourer or everyday leisure bike.

Homage: 2021 upgrades 

The key upgrades are: 

• A new frame which neatly integrates the Gen 4 Bosch Performance Line CX motor into the frame (was Gen 2 Bosch CX). The frame is cast in one piece so is incredibly strong also making it very stable to ride. 

• Increase to 625Wh battery as standard (from 500Wh)
• Upgraded rear shock (100mm travel)
• New pearl white frame colour (and retirement of the metallic red colour)

Further upgrades available as customisation options are:

• A 1,250Wh dual battery option* with a very clever side by side positioning of the second 625Wh battery in the downtube making the Homage the only stepthrough ebike available that can carry this much battery capacity.

• Clean cockpit design with adjustable stem and choice of Kiox, SmartphoneHub or Nyon display. 
• Dropper seatpost

• Choice between GX (offroad) package or comfort package (curved vs sporty handlebars and wider saddle)
• You can accessorise with an additional front carrier or front carrier with 18L waterproof shoulder bag
