As usual with the German manufacturer, the Charger 4 can also be heavily customized. All variants are revved up by a Bosch Performance Line CX mid-engine. The Kiox 300 display is located on the handlebars and is operated using the convenient LED remote control at the end of the handlebars. Braking is done with the help of hydraulic disc brakes from Magura.
The basic variant, called “Touring”, which costs just under 5,000 euros, has an 11-speed derailleur from Shimano. The higher-priced variants “Vario” (from 5,450 euros), “GT Touring” (from 5,400 euros) and “GT Vario” (from 5,750 euros) are optionally available with a belt drive and continuously variable hub gears.
