The overall ‘shape’ of the Threesome SL 9.3 looks good and you’ll be glad to hear that it passes the all-important car park test.

Bergamont have been a big name in German cycling for a number of years, but on this side of the pond we have barely heard of them. Why is this? Who knows, but now that the brand has a dedicated UK distributor in the form of Reece Cycles we can expect to be hearing a lot more from them.

What are their bikes all about? Simply put, these bikes represent value for money. Where they possibly aren’t going to contend with the big-boys in terms of out-and-out performance (although looking at the bikes we reckon they will certainly hold their own), the big wow-factor is the price. This 650b wheeled Threesome, for example, comes in at under £3,000.00 complete and from the shop floor – Bergamont aren’t all about mail-order like some of their rivals – meaning that after-sales service won’t be an issue.

Let’s have a look at Bergamont’s Threesome SL 9.3, the top-of-the-range model that will be available in the UK soon at an estimated retail of £2,999.00 (price to be confirmed):
