Less is indeed more for modern endurance road warriors. But don't let its simplicity fool you. The advanced-grade composite frame and fork have been engineered with endurance in mind. Say goodbye to road-induced fatigue as they team up to deliver a silky-smooth and efficient ride. The new D-Fuse components are like your road's shock absorbers, making sure those vibrations are just a distant memory.

With wide alloy rims optimized for high-volume tubeless tires, you'll feel like you're riding on a cloud. Whether it's asphalt or cobblestone, this bike handles it all with grace and stability.

Weight |
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local Bicycle Warehouse weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality. |
