Please Note: Lifestyle images may show an alternative colour for size and design reference.
A well-rounded and welcome addition to our home-grown Basis brand, and one of our favourites to date!
Built around a lightweight 17″ alloy frame, the Protocol combines hardtail rigidity at the rear for solid performance, with Suntour front suspension that offers comfort, control over challenging terrain, and versatile handling. The 700c deep-V wheels paired with chunky CST hybrid tyres make it perfect for fast-paced commuting, while also holding its own as a capable trekking bike.
The 7Ah 36V tubular battery available in 7Ah is cleverly concealed within the frame, a feature that’s been a hit on previous models. This sleek integration reduces bulk, hides the electric components, balances the centre of gravity, and keeps the battery safe and secure. Power assistance and battery level are controlled through a large LCD handlebar-mounted display.
Designed as a dependable daily rider, the Protocol is equipped with front and rear mechanical disc brakes and a Shimano 6-speed gearing system. While it’s not a purebred of any one style, the Protocol strikes just the right balance to deliver a smooth, enjoyable two-wheeled experience.
