COMFORTABLE BUT QUICK

WHY IT'S A BEST BUY – Best parts spec for the least dough. The Ride. Our test bike weighed 26 pounds but felt fleet and confident. Spec is excellent: Shimano Deore rear derailleur and ST-R223 shift/brake levers, 30/42/52 Truvativ chainring and Avid Single Digit 3 linear-pull brakes. Go full-roadie by trading the Ritchey flat bar for drops, or swap Hutchinson road tires for moderate knobbies and ride the trail. There are even braze-ons for front and rear racks.
