The tech you get

A lightweight aluminium frame with mounts for a rack and mudguards, a lowstep design that makes it especially easy to mount and dismount, a reliable drivetrain with 18 speeds so you'll never have to pedal too hard or too soft, powerful disc brakes, an adjustable stem, a padded saddle, wide tyres for extra stability, a road-smoothing suspension seat post and a geometry that keeps you in a comfortable, upright riding posture.
