Booda Bike Banker - M

Yes, the Banker is built for minimal maintenance. It has a sealed Shimano Alfine internal gear hub, so there is no derailleur to adjust, and a Gates Carbon Drive belt instead of a chain, which needs no lubrication and does not rust. Hydraulic disc brakes and tubeless tyres with sealant reduce the routine work further. Like any bike, it still needs basic checks such as tyre pressure, brake pads and belt tension, and because it is built from standard components, any general bike shop can service it.

The Banker combines a steel frame and a carbon fork with a sealed internal gear hub (grease-lubricated in the Alfine 8, oil-bath in the Alfine 11), a Gates belt that does not rust and lasts significantly longer than a traditional chain, and Schwalbe G-One Speed tubeless tyres whose sealant closes small punctures. It rides on 32-hole aluminium rims. Wider Schwalbe G-One Allround 622×40 tyres or the extra puncture-protected Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency 622×35 (with inner tubes) are available if you want even more tolerance for rough roads.

The standard Banker has a Shimano Alfine 8 internal gear hub: 8 gears, a 307% gear range (ratios from 0.53 to 1.62), grease-lubricated and sealed, shifted from the handlebar. The Shimano Alfine 11 is available as an upgrade, with 11 gears, a 409% range (0.53 to 2.15) and oil-bath lubrication. An internal gear hub suits a belt drive because a belt cannot be moved across sprockets like a chain, and the hub keeps all the shifting mechanism sealed inside, with no derailleur to adjust.

No. The Banker is belt-driven: a Gates Carbon Drive CDN belt (113T) runs between a 50T front sprocket and a 22T rear sprocket. The belt is clean, quiet, needs no lubrication and does not rust. The higher-grade Gates CDX belt is available as an upgrade.

Size S is intended for riders of 155–170 cm, size M for 170–185 cm and size L for 185–200 cm. See the frame geometry table above for stack, reach and the other measurements.

The Banker is a trekking bike designed for asphalt, and its Schwalbe G-One Speed 622×35 tubeless tyres give it enough versatility for light gravel and rougher city roads. If you want more grip on loose surfaces, wider Schwalbe G-One Allround 622×40 tyres are available as an option.

Approximately 11 kg without accessories.

Yes. The Banker is available with Supernova dynamo lighting (Supernova E3 Pure 3 with a Shutter Precision hub dynamo) or battery lighting (Supernova Airstream 2), a Tubus Fly Classic rear rack, and an aluminium mudguard set designed for this model.

You can pay via bank transfer or credit card.

Not yet, but we’re working on it! :)

If the bike isn’t what you expected, you can return it within 14 days. Please make sure to pack it carefully so it arrives back to us in good condition. You can find the return conditions in our Terms and Conditions.

All our bikes are made using standard components, so they’re easy to maintain. This is a core principle across all our models. Thanks to this, any general bike shop should be able to service your Booda Bike.

This depends on the model and configuration, but most maintenance and assembly can be done with these tools: 4 mm Allen key, 5 mm Allen key, 6 mm Allen key, and a T25 Torx key.

Once you select your country, all prices will be shown with the applicable local VAT included.

Currently, we operate as an online-only store, but we’re working on making test rides possible in the near future.

Once we receive your order, we begin processing it. If all parts are in stock, our team will prepare the components in the order in which the orders were received. If something is out of stock, we’ll check the expected arrival or order it immediately. After that, your bike enters the assembly phase, which usually takes 1–2 business days. Once the bike is built, it undergoes a thorough quality check to ensure everything is assembled correctly. Then it gets packed and shipped straight to your door.

If you bought your bike through our website, just go to the “My Bicycle” tab in your profile — there you’ll find all components specific to your bike, so you’ll know exactly what you need and can easily reorder.

The customization options on our website are based on what we’ve learned actually make sense over the years. There are very few modifications we are both able and willing to make that aren’t listed online — but feel free to email us at info@boodabike.com and we’ll be happy to discuss it.
