- Truvativ 52/42/30 crankset and an 8-speed, 12/24 cassette provide 24 gears for handling everything from easy climbs to aggressive sprints
- Shimano shifters and derailleurs move you smoothly from gear to gear; shifters operate easily using just your thumb and first finger
- Linear-pull brakes are forged for strength and power modulated for controlled response
- Double-wall rims and Kenda 700x28 road tires provide a sporty ride yet withstand customary hard-surface abuse
- WTB Speed V Sport LE saddle is contoured for all-day comfort and anatomic support
- Platform pedals with toe cages enhance pedaling efficiency and accommodate most athletic shoes
- Specs are subject to change
After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.
