(New Launch!) Birdy Ultegra 20 | Powered by Shimano Ultegra | 11-Speed | Performance Foldable Bike

ENDURANCE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE, AND MECHANICAL PRECISION

The Birdy Ultegra 20 is the perfect bike for a specific and elite niche of riders: cyclists who want to cover long distances with speed and comfort, commuters looking for a premium high-performing folding bike, and lastly, discerning cyclists who specifically prefers the reliability, feedback, and classic feel of a mechanical Ultegra groupset.

The Birdy Ultegra 20 has a similar DNA to the Birdy R20, with the stiff, stable monocoque frame and the 20-inch Hubsmith quick engagement wheelset. However, it's been upgraded with a legendary Shimano Ultegra groupset that offers top-tier performance for exceptional value. This means the bike comes with drop bars, specialized Ultegra shifters and levers, and a mechanical rear derailleur and cassette. These components offer precision, tactile feedback, and aerodynamic comfort.

We are using the last of the coveted mechanical Ultegra components, which makes this a truly unique and limited-edition build.

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN 20-INCH WHEELSET

The Birdy Ultegra 20 boasts a superior ride thanks to its 20-inch Hubsmith wheelset, designed for enhanced speed and smoother rolling on paved roads. The larger wheels provide increased stability and efficiency, making the Birdy DA20 ideal for road cycling and longer commutes. Combined with Made-in-Japan Panaracer Minits tyres, the Birdy Ultegra 20 delivers a faster, more responsive ride, without sacrificing compact folding capability that defines the Birdy lineup.

SHIMANO ULTEGRA R8000 DRIVETRAIN FOR LEGENDARY MECHANICAL PRECISION 

The Birdy Ultegra 20 is equipped with the Shimano 11-speed Ultegra RD-R8000-SS Rear derailleur and full steel 11-28T Cassette. The Ultegra line of groupsets have always been renowned for providing top-tier performance with exceptional value. This performance-oriented drivetrain allows for precise, smooth and immediate gear changes at high speeds, while Ultegra shifters provide tactile feedback.

AERODYNAMIC ADVANTAGE

The faster and longer you cycle, the more aerodynamics come into play. Drop bars allow you to assume riding postures that reduce drag and increase speed and efficiency. They also aid your comfort and control by boasting drops with a compact bend, offering multiple versatile hand positions. The brake and shifter levers are also easier to reach as a result.

The Birdy Ultegra 20 is equipped with a drop bar, allowing riders to enjoy that aerodynamic advantage.

ZELE SILVER CRANKS WITH LARGER 54T NARROW-WIDE CHAINRING

We've upped the gear ratios of the Birdy Ultegra 20 with a larger 54T Narrow-Wide chainring. Achieve a higher top speed with a longer gear ratios and reduce chain drops with a NW chainring that grips the chain securely without losing efficiency.

ULTIMATE COMFORT WITH FULL SUSPENSION

Despite its speed-focused design, the Birdy Ultegra 20 doesn’t compromise on comfort. Like all Birdy models, the Birdy Ultegra 20 is built with a full suspension system that absorbs shocks from uneven roads, giving you a smooth ride whether you're cycling on tarmac or less predictable surfaces. Paired with the lightweight, hydroformed aluminum frame, this ensures that you can maintain comfort on long rides without compromising on the bike's performance or durability.

PRECISE CONTROL WITH DUAL PISTON ACTUATED TRP MECHANICAL BRAKES

Safety and control are essential at high speeds, and the Birdy Ultegra 20 is built with the TRP Spyre mechanical disc brake system. Designed for precise braking power, these reliable brakes give you full control in any riding condition whether it's a fast-paced city stop or a controlled descent. The responsive stopping power ensures confidence, especially in wet or unpredictable environments, making the Birdy Ultegra 20 as safe as it is fast.

The TRP Spyre brakes are unique with dual actuated pistons, providing controlled power, modulation and even brake pad wear.

COMPACT FOLDING FOR EASY TRANSPORT

Like other Birdy bikes, the Birdy Ultegra 20 boasts a compact folding design, allowing you to take it anywhere without hassle. Folding down in under 15 seconds to compact dimensions, it fits easily into small spaces whether you're commuting, storing it at home, or packing it for travel. The Birdy Ultegra 20's lightweight frame ensures that you can carry it with great ease, making it ideal for both urban riders and serious road cyclists who need a high-performance folding bike.

The folding design makes it a standout in the world of performance folding bikes. It has one of the smallest folds amongst 20" folding bikes with full suspension at 72 x 62 x 34cm. The Birdy Ultegra 20 also can be pushed when folded without the need of any rack mounted wheels, adding to its versatility in commuting or travelling with it.

WHO SHOULD GET THE NEW BIRDY ULTEGRA 20?

Three specific groups of discerning cyclists will find the Birdy Ultegra 20 perfect for their needs. Firstly, endurance riders who want to cover long distances with speed and comfort will enjoy the multiple hand positions that drop bars provide.
