With its triple cavity frame design Moustache haven’t needed to compromise on stiffness or weight unlike many other open frame designs flooding the bike industry. This design feat makes this bike perfect whether you’re looking for getting off the beaten track or simply getting fresh air on the everyday commute.
Why did the team at Moustache labour over this frame design for three years? In order to have an ultra low-step frame, the top tube which provides most of the strength must be removed. Normally this will result in a frame with excessive flex giving wobbly handling. To add strength, most manufacturers simply add more metal which of course adds more weight and may still not have the benefit of lateral stiffness which is key to confident handling. If all that sounds like gobledy-gook, just ride one for yourself to understand the Moustache difference.
For so many reasons the Moustache Xroad is New Zealand’s most sought after Rail Trail machine. With 80mm of trail-smoothing suspension and an ultra-comfortable suspended seatpost, the perfectly balanced ride will have you riding further, faster and happier.
The New Moustache Xroad 3 Open is powered by Bosch’s brand new Gen 4 Smart System Performance Line SPORT motor which assists up to 38kph, this is one of the very few eBikes available in NZ with this higher speed ‘SPORT’ variant. The 625wh PowerTube battery is seamlessly integrated into the frame while remaining easy to take on and off. The integrated charge port on the bike makes recharging a breeze. What’s this ‘Smart System’ about? Reach out to us or one of our dealers to walk you through this exciting new technology from Bosch.
The luggage rack with QL3 system means you can attach the Moustache by Ortlieb panniers, Moustache Clark Backpack or any other QL3 panniers in seconds, giving the Xroad even more versatility. Its wide platform also makes it compatible with a large range of child seats. The MIK integration allows for quick fitting of a wide range of Basil and Moustache bags, such as the Greg & Manu Double pannier, and accessories, with more brands coming soon. Exclusive tubular Moustache mud-guards, ultra solid and reliable, are perfectly centred over the wheel to keep you and your bike dry and clean in all conditions.
Designed specifically with New Zealand conditions in mind the Xroad ticks every box for comfort, reliability and style. Consumer Magazine NZ shares our high praise for the Xroad, click here to read their thoughts on the Xroad range.

Though we’re a bike shop that sells, builds and fixes bicycles, they’re really just the means to an end; albeit a beautifully designed means to an idyllic end. Our job most importantly is to encourage as many people as we can to get out and ride for transport and enjoyment. We'd love to make riding a bike as commonplace as your morning cup of coffee, which by the way is our other obsession.
