Booda Bike Hiker - S
Hiker
Gravel bike with Alfine gear hub
8 or 11 speeds for everyday rides and real adventures.
Built for gravel, commuting and everything in between.
The Booda Bike Hiker combines a steel frame, a carbon fork and a Shimano Alfine internal gear hub with the clean, low-maintenance Gates Carbon Drive system. Choose between 8 or 11 speeds, depending on the range you need.
Schwalbe G-One Allround tubeless tires provide reliable grip on gravel while still rolling efficiently on asphalt. The geometry is designed for a comfortable, efficient riding position that works just as well on everyday rides as it does on longer adventures.
The microSHIFT integrated brake and shift levers keep everything you need right at your fingertips on the drop bar.

Steel frame Steel naturally helps absorb road vibration while providing the stiffness needed for precise, predictable handling. It gives the Hiker a smooth and comfortable ride without taking away from its responsive character. 
Alfine 8/11 gear hub The Shimano Alfine 8 and 11 internal gear hubs offer smooth, low-maintenance shifting with sealed designs that use grease (Alfine 8) or oil-bath lubrication (Alfine 11) for optimal durability. The Alfine 8 provides a 307% gear range, while the Alfine 11 offers a wider 409% range, making it ideal for varied terrain and urban commuting alike. 
~11.5 kg The bike weighs approximately 11.5 kg without accessories, which is outstanding for a steel-framed, hub-geared bike of this type. This is thanks to the high-quality steel frame and the carbon fork. The low weight is key to a comfortable and enjoyable ride. 
Mechanical disc brakes The Alfine hub and drop-bar setup requires the microSHIFT integrated brake and shift levers, which is why the Hiker uses mechanical disc brakes. With 160 mm rotors front and rear, the system provides reliable and predictable braking performance in everyday and gravel riding. 
Gates Carbon Drive system The Gates Carbon Drive belt system is clean, quiet and virtually maintenance-free. It does not require lubrication, does not rust and lasts significantly longer than a traditional chain. A premium choice for smooth, reliable riding. 
Internal cable routing Clean design often comes down to the details you barely notice. Routing the cables internally keeps the Hiker visually simple while protecting the cables and maintaining the clean lines of the frame.
Shimano Alfine 8 gear hub
A reliable, low-maintenance internal gear hub with a 307% gear range. It is a great choice for everyday riding, commuting and moderately hilly terrain.

Made for gravel. Still fast on asphalt.
The Hiker is designed for riders who don’t want to choose between gravel and paved roads. Its geometry balances stability and comfort off-road with an efficient riding position for faster sections on asphalt.
Choose it with a Supernova dynamo lighting system!
Choose the dynamo-powered Supernova E3 Pure 3 lighting system with a Shutter Precision hub dynamo if you want worry-free, continuous lighting on your bike. The rear light can be mounted on the rear rack or on the seat post clamp – whichever suits you best.
Battery-powered Supernova light
Choose your bike with the battery-powered Supernova Airstream 2 headlight, paired with an integrated rear light mounted on the seat post clamp. The front light is removable and can also be used as a flashlight, making it easy to recharge.
Rear rack, so you can carry all your extra gear with ease
Choose the Tubus Fly Classic rear rack, optionally with an integrated rear light (available for the Supernova Airstream 2 and Supernova E3 systems).
Gates CDX Carbon belt drive
The Gates CDX system is designed for demanding, high-mileage use. It stays clean, requires no lubrication and offers excellent durability with very little maintenance.
High puncture resistance, tubeless sealant
We set up the Hiker tubeless by default. Sealant can automatically close many small punctures while allowing you to run lower tire pressures for improved comfort and grip on rough surfaces. TPU inner tubes are also available as an alternative.
Carbon rim upgrade
Carbon rims make a lot more sense when the goal isn’t simply to “make it carbon.” Reducing rotational weight can make the bike feel lighter, sharper and more responsive. Our aluminium rims already offer excellent performance and value, while the carbon option is there for riders who want to take the ride feel one step further.

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.

Can I try the bike in person before buying?
Currently, we operate as an online-only store, but we’re working on making test rides possible in the near future.
What happens after I place my order?
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.
How can I order spare parts?
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.
What if I want a customization that’s not available on the website?
The customization options on our website are based on what we’ve learned actually makes 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.
