Description
The Verge S8i is the world’s most versatile ultra-low-maintenance folding bike. It’s designed around a Gates belt drive and Shimano’s 8-speed internal-gear Alfine hub. The result is a practically silent super-commuter with no greasy parts or protruding derailleurs, plus a gear range for any incline. The S8i has an extra-long wheelbase and Schwalbe Big Apple tires, so it rolls confidently over any and all potholes. It will get you there quickly, cleanly and most importantly, in style.
- Shimano Alfine 8-speed internally geared hub for low-maintenance riding
- Revolutionary Gates Carbon Drive drivetrain for a quiet, light and clean bike
- Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes for extreme stopping power
- Andros™ handlebar stem for tool-free riding position adjustments on the fly
- Bright, wide-beam Valo™ Light powered by the BioLogic Joule™ 3 electricity-generating hub
- Schwalbe Big Apple tyres with Kevlar puncture protection
- Folds in under 10 seconds to fit under a desk
- Mudguards for rainy days

The Gates belt drive is the ultimate commuter drive system: it’s clean, light, quiet, and requires zero maintenance.
Clean: Unlike chain drive systems, the Gates belt drive doesn’t require any grease. It’s always dry and clean—an extra bonus when you’re riding with your nice trousers or squeezing onto a crowded subway.
Light: The Gates belt, rear sprocket, and front sprocket together weigh less than just the chain it replaces.
Low Noise: The Gates belt runs silently—always—unlike a chain that needs regular lubrication to run quietly.
Zero Maintenance: The Gates belt does not stretch (unlike a chain) and will last twice as long. It won’t rust and never needs lubrication—a big plus if you ride in wet, icy weather and roads get salted in the winter.
