Our top of the range fitness bike is not just loaded with high-end components which offer superior function, longevity and smoothness; it also combines fast and effortless road bike-like ground covering with a less aggressive and strenuous riding position. The perfect bike for sporty outings, fast commuting and even lightweight touring. The carbon fork reduces weight and adds superior vibration absorption. Multiple fixing points allow bottle cages, fenders, kickstand and a rear rack to be fitted.
Fast and lightweight, the SPEEDER shares its genes with our road bike range. The geometry offers an extended reach for added stability while providing a more upright and comfortable riding position. The sporty yet comfort inspired geometry paired with control enhancing flat handlebars and powerful disc brakes make the SPEEDER ideal for fast commuting or fitness rides. Wider tyres and more tyre clearance underline the comfort element even further and give the SPEEDER more grip when it counts. Road.cc call the 900 an 'excellent fast flat-bar road bike with awesome performance' and the 200 'an enjoyable flat-barred flyer for fitness, commuting and everyday riding'.
Highlights:
- Sporty, comfort oriented geometry
- Lightweight aluminium frame
