Key Features

• Rigid Aluminum Frame: Constructed from high-quality aluminum, the 21-inch frame provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring long-term durability without adding unnecessary bulk. This design supports quick acceleration and effortless handling in urban environments.
• 700c Wheels: Engineered for optimal performance on smooth pavement, the 700c wheel size ensures stability and efficient rolling. Compatible with riders between 5’4″ and 6’2″, the bike maintains proper fit and balance across a broad user range.
• 14-Speed A050 Shifters & Rear Derailleur: The integrated shifter and brake lever combo enables seamless transitions across 14 speeds, allowing riders to adapt quickly to changing terrain—from flat commutes to gentle inclines. Precision-engineered components ensure reliable shifting for years of use.
• Alloy Linear Pull Hand Brakes: Responsive and consistent, these alloy caliper brakes offer dependable stopping power when needed most. Their mechanical simplicity translates into fewer maintenance needs and enhanced safety during fast descents or sudden stops.
• Drop Handlebars & Sport Saddle: The aerodynamic drop handlebar design encourages an aggressive yet comfortable riding position, reducing wind resistance and improving pedaling efficiency. Paired with a sport saddle designed for support, it enhances comfort during extended rides.
• Alloy Components: From the crankset to the wheel rims, multiple components are crafted from lightweight aluminum alloys. This reduces overall weight, improves responsiveness, and contributes to the bike’s sleek, modern appearance.
