Description
If your commute is regularly the best part of your workday, then this agile urban bike will have you taking the long way home. Like previous generations of the Shadowlands, the 1 is well equipped and perfectly suited to city riding. A light aluminum frame and plenty of gear options mean that you won’t be haunted by the hills on your route. All of that mechanical advantage comes from Shimano’s 10-speed Cues drivetrain. The Cues line provides reliable performance, durability, and easy maintenance – with cross compatibility across the line. There’s no need to leave the bike at home on rainy days, as the hydraulic disc brakes work great in the wet. And if rain is the norm, there are fender mounts to help keep you dry. There are also rear pannier mounts and plenty of bag/bottle mounts, so you can transform your weekday commuter into a weekend tourer.Lower top tube makes mounting and dismounting easierLightweight 6061 aluminum frame with tapered tubing to add strengthCarbon fibre fork reduces weight and offers a smoother rideLarge diameter 700c wheels roll efficiently on rough roads and bike pathsShimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes provide outstanding stopping power in all weather conditionsShimano Cues drivetrain provides smooth, reliable shifting, and the gearing needed for steep climbs and fast roads descents35mm wide Goodyear Transit Tour tires are fast and grippy on tarmac and bike paths in the dry and the wetFrame and fork are equipped with eyelets for fenders, racks, bottle cages and bag mountsBikes are covered by MEC’s Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement.
