Booda Bike Pulse – Rohloff
Belt Driven Bike with Rohloff 500/14 Speed hub, mudguard, carbon components and dynamo Supernova lighting system. A real world-traveling machine.
Belt-driven bicycle for urban / hiking mixed use with Rohloff 500/14 SPEEDHUB
The Booda Bike Pulse is the perfect choice for those who like wide range of gear ratio, comfortable and rugged bikes and it is important for them to have the bike well equipped. It makes the best use of the comfort and performance it offers on asphalt, but Schwalbe G-One Speed tubeless tires also hold up on gravel ground. The geometry results in a posture that is comfortable, even on long rides. Carbon accessories also help with comfort and performance. The Rohloff 500/14 SPEEDHUB serves up and down slopes to the maximum with it’s 14 gear. And the steel frame is just flexible enough to absorb uncomfortable resonances, but stiff enough not to spoil the riding experience.
Steel frame
The frame is the most important element of the bike, so it gets huge attention in the design. Due to the material properties of steel, it pleasantly dampens vibrations, but gives enough rigidity to make turning a real experience.
Carbon accessories
The choice of carbon material is also crucial in terms of weight, but it is also a key issue in terms of comfort. Pulse has a carbon handlebar and fork. It helps to soften the perception of small pebbles and unevenness and relieve the user.
~ 12 kg
Despite the high equipment, thanks to the carbon accessories, there is no overweight, so the weight of 12 kilos is already available among well-equipped comfortable, gear-changing bikes, thus minimizing the load that we have to carry while riding.
Rohloff 500/14 SPEEDHUB
Designed for fast paced turning and climbing uphill. Controlled from the steering wheel, we can conveniently shift gears.

Supernova premium lighting system
Supernova E3 Pure 3 front and mudgurad intergrated rear light. Supernova is one of the best lighting system on the market.
Comfortable tire for asphalt and gravel use
Schwalbe G One Speed 622×35 tubeless tires are considered comfortable. It has low rolling resistance due to its high fiber weave.
High puncture resistance, tubeless fluid
Tubeless tires are provided with Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex tubeless fluid, which forms a sticky, foamy material inside the rubber and immediately seals smaller holes.
Gates CDX Carbon Belt Drive System
The CDX Belt drive system is the most durable system. It provides high performance and reliability with low maintenance.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for proper safety. Whether in the case of emergency braking or descending a slope, we can expect the maximum braking effect to the maximum.
Comfortable riding position
Sitting on the bike, we need to reach a position where we can sit most efficiently and comfortably. In the case of gear hub models, this has also been achieved. By kicking our feet backwards, we can drive the bike most effectively in a “horse spring” position, but we can still keep our backs in a comfortable position for a long time.
Carbon accessories
Carbon handlebar, carbon seatpost and carbon fork. Thanks to these, we were able to keep the weight low and still achieve a very efficient and comfortable riding feeling.

Hi, is that possible to make this one with drop bar steering wheel?
Would love to have such one with more of a gravel performance – wider tyres and drop bar
Dear Alex,
Thank you for your response. It is possible to assemble the Pulse with gravel dropbars. Hiker’s Schwalbe G One Allround tyres are optional in this model also but we are developing in that direction for further possibilities. If you need more information, please, get in touch with us through our customer service using this link: https://boodabike.com/contact/
