Silverback revolutionises the bicycle

The all-new Silver Series combines revolutionary comfort technology, sustainable design and rider-focused innovation to redefine what a bicycle can be.

Stuttgart, Germany — 2 June 2026 — Silverback today unveiled the SilverRider™ Series, an entirely new category of electric bicycles built around a simple idea: comfort should not be an afterthought. Guided by a philosophy called Science of Comfort, the Silver Series introduces a breakthrough frame architecture, advanced comfort technologies and sustainable manufacturing principles designed to deliver a more natural and enjoyable riding experience.

DEFYING CONVENTIONAL DESIGN. THE NEW S-SHAPE SKELETAL FRAMEWORK

At the heart of the Silver Series is Silverback's patent-pending S-Shape Skeletal Structure, a radical reimagining of the traditional hardtail e-bike frame. Developed from the ground up, the structure challenges conventional frame design by creating a unique balance of power transfer, comfort and visual simplicity. The result is a platform that is both highly capable and unmistakably distinctive.

“Every aspect of the Silver Series was designed around the rider,” said Silverback. “Rather than asking riders to adapt to the bicycle, we engineered the bicycle to adapt to the rider.”

COMFORT POWERED BY S-TEC

The Silver Series introduces S-Tec (Seat Absorption Technology), an innovative system that removes the traditional seat tube and allows the rear structure of the frame to work with the rider instead of against them. Combined with larger-volume tires, lower standover height and engineered frame compliance, S-Tec creates a synergistic comfort system that absorbs vibration and road buzz while maintaining efficient power transfer.

Silverback describes this approach as “where form follows function,” combining structural innovation with practical rider benefits that include:

• Reduced vibration and rider fatigue
• Improved comfort over long distances
• Easier mounting and dismounting
• Greater confidence while cornering
• Easier & faster hill-climbing
• More efficient power delivery through engineered compliance

The result is a ride that feels calmer, smoother and more controlled — allowing riders to focus on the journey rather than the terrain beneath them.

SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF UNIQUE ELEMENTS WORKING TOGETHER

SMARTER MATERIALS. LOWER IMPACT. BETTER RIDES.

The Silver Series was developed with sustainability as a core design objective. Silverback's use of recycled alloy and composite materials reduces waste while supporting a more environmentally responsible manufacturing process. The company also emphasizes shorter supply chains, localized production, and improved material utilization to reduce environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle. Water-based paint systems are used in place of more traditional coatings to help minimize harmful emissions, while laser-etched logos replace decals, reducing material use and improving long-term durability.

By designing frames specifically around rider comfort and long-term durability, Silverback aims to create products that remain relevant and enjoyable for years to come, supporting a more sustainable approach to cycling through extended product lifespans.

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS THROUGHOUT

Every Silver Series model incorporates practical features designed to improve everyday ownership, including:

Integrated frame protection.                      100% recycled battery covered

Hidden cable routing and integrated stem system

Easy battery access for charging on/off the bike

Handlebar-mounted information display

USB-C device charging

Together, these details support a cleaner design language while enhancing reliability and usability.

VISIBILITY SHOULD NEVER BE OPTIONAL

Every SilverRider is equipped with integrated front and rear lighting systems powered directly by the bike's main battery. Unlike conventional bicycle lights that require separate charging and maintenance, Silver Series lighting is always available whenever the bike is powered on.

By eliminating the need for removable lights and additional charging routines, riders can spend less time preparing for a ride and more time enjoying it. The integrated system also helps ensure consistent visibility in changing light conditions, providing added confidence and safety whether commuting through the city, exploring gravel roads, or extending an adventure beyond sunset.

CUSTOM FATBIKE CRANKSET

Proprietary crankset engineered by Silverback to specifically fit a fat e-bike chainline.

TWO DISTINCT MODELS, ONE VISION OF COMFORT WITHOUT LIMITS

The Silver Series launches with two purpose-built models:

SilverRider MTB+

Designed for riders seeking off-road adventure, the SilverRider MTB+ combines the comfort benefits of the Silver Series platform with trail-ready capability. The model is optimized for varied terrain while maintaining the smooth ride characteristics central to the Science of Comfort philosophy.

CUSTOMISABLE IN FIVE FRAME COLORS AND SIX S-TEC COLORS

ONE MAN, ONE BIKE, ONE MASTERPIECE

Every Silver Series frame is assembled in Germany through carefully controlled small-batch production. By manufacturing in limited quantities, Silverback maintains close oversight of quality, consistency and refinement throughout the production process.

This approach enables faster implementation of design improvements, more rigorous quality control and reduced material waste compared to traditional mass-production methods. It also supports shorter supply chains and a more responsible manufacturing model, helping ensure that every SilverRider reflects the craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail that define the Silver Series.

AVAILABILITY & PRICE

The Silver Series will be available through Silverback's head office in Germany, where each bike is painted and assembled - ready-to-ride.

Batch One delivery starts July 2026.

SilverRider MTB: €4299

SilverRider Fat: €4299
