Origin

2018. The Multistreet is ROSE's urban fitness/trekking platform — flat-bar bikes for commuting, fitness riding, and light touring. It bridges the gap between performance road bikes (Reveal, XLITE) and true city bikes (Black Lava, Sneak). The name 'Multistreet' captures its versatility: it works on city streets, bike paths, and light gravel.

The verdict

+Strengths

Carbon fork standard — vibration damping and weight saving vs alloy fork competitors
1,490g aluminium frame — lightweight for fitness/trekking category
Internal cable routing — clean, weather-protected, good aesthetics
Direct sales: Shimano XT or GRX at city bike prices — exceptional spec per euro
Three frame shapes (Men/Ladies/MidStep) — comprehensive fit coverage
Schwalbe G-One tyres (Fitness) — capable beyond tarmac
Wide gear range (11-34 cassette) — handles hills on commutes

−Weaknesses

Shimano mix-and-match groupset (GRX + MT200 + Ultegra) can confuse buyers about actual spec level
No mudguard/rack on Fitness variants — limits all-weather commuting without aftermarket
Limited review coverage vs mainstream brands — no BikeRadar full test found
Not positioned for aggressive off-road use despite G-One tyre choice

Did you know

02The Multistreet 19 XT came with Shimano XT (mountain bike high-end) on a trekking/fitness bike — the direct-sales model allows such 'premium spec for category' combinations
03Three frame shapes (Men/Ladies/MidStep) in two sub-families (Fitness/Trekking) at two spec levels (2/3) = potentially 12 variants — comprehensive gender and use-case coverage
04Carbon fork is standard across all Multistreet models — differentiates from budget city bikes with steel or alloy forks
05Internal cable routing standard throughout range — clean aesthetic for a city bike
06GRX groupset (designed for gravel) on a fitness flat-bar bike shows ROSE's cross-category component thinking
07Schwalbe G-One tyres on Fitness models — capable of light gravel, not just tarmac
08The MidStep variant addresses a common complaint about both step-through (too low standover) and standard frames (too high) — practical middle ground
