The ultimate bike for urban use

The CityGo C7 was released in 2019 following Gazelle’s tremendous success with the CityGo C3. Built around a robust frame, strong wheels, and internal cabling, the CityGo is designed to withstand everything the urban environment throws at it. The result is so simple and reliable that it has been widely adopted as a rental bike in many Dutch cities.

The CityGo is designed for life. It has a wider gear range than its predecessor, and it also has an upgraded rear brake for greater stopping power. It will easily hold a laptop and groceries on the sturdy rear carrier or in the front basket (which can be fitted as an accessory). The Gazelle CityGo C7 is an indestructible bike thanks to its integrated lights and dual locks. The ultimate urban commuter!

Advantages

• Lights are integrated into the frame, for optimum protection
• Dual protection against theft: a free chain lock in addition to the frame lock
• Headlamp and tail light are powered by the hub dynamo
• Stow the chain link lock easily in its unique built-in case
• Wider gear range and better braking than the CityGo C3

Gazelle CityGo C7  –  £699

Although it has modern features like hub gears and dynamo lights, the concepts that define the CityGo are ones of simplicity and utility. Good quality components are used where they are necessary, but the overall price is kept low by not giving the bike features that it doesn’t need. For instance, comfort is provided by the fat tyres and wide saddle, and not by complicated suspension mechanisms. Likewise, the integrated lights are always on, meaning that a broken switch will never be a problem. Life is complicated enough, and the CityGo C7 is designed just to work well so you don’t have to worry. The ride is relaxed and intuitive, and it doesn’t require much effort as the aluminium frame makes efficient use of your energy. The bike comes in a large range of frame sizes, and the two-tone colourway is both subtle and stylish. The optional front carrier is useful for small items, but with a 5kg maximum load capacity it definitely doesn’t turn the CityGo into a cargo bike! All in all, the 7-speed CityGo is a basic bike, but a solid, modern, and reliable one that is built to last. With a wider gear range and upgraded braking over the C3 model, the C7 is sure to be popular. Well done Gazelle, you made another winner!
