The 6061 aluminium alloy frame is light, yet has excellent lateral stiffness for power in the sprints and the climbs. The carbon fibre fork provides a degree of vertical compliance to reduce road buzz while still giving precise handling. The Alex double-walled aluminium alloy rims are light and strong. They-re tough enough to suit an every day commuter, but light enough to enjoy long distance endurance rides or hill climbs. The Quando hubs are serviceable and adjustable for exceptional durability. A 42/52 tooth crankset, combined with an 8 speed rear cluster, gives a wide, evenly spaced range of gears. Shimano Claris shifters and derailleurs give outstanding reliability and performance. The Tektro dual-pivot alloy caliper brakes provide great stopping power, excellent modulation and easy adjustment. Integrated brake and gear levers (Shimano STI) means that you can brake and change gears without moving your hands from the hoods of the Drop Bars. Sealed bearings in the bottom bracket and a threadless 1-1/8 inch headset make for minimal maintenance. The whole package has been chosen for maximum value, durability and performance, making this one of the best road bike you can buy for the price.
