It is designed for comfort and has a lightweight 6066 triple butted alloy frame. It looks stylish and neat with internal cable routing and it also comes with a carbon fork to keep the weight light and the bike fast rolling. The carbon fork also helps to dampen the vibration and gives you precise steering. The relaxed geometry is perfect for a new cyclist, as the position on the bike is more relaxed and upright.
