Trek Soho

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 10:08:18 -0400

The Trek Soho is the base model in Treks Soho line of urban bikes named after the famous SoHo district in Manhattan. This line is designed for style, comfort and utility and is an ideal choice for the hardcore commuter. It uses all weather hardware such as roller disc brakes and built-in fenders for use in any weather conditions. Brake cables travel through the bike's frame for a cleaner look. The Trek Soho uses a belt-drive system rather than typical bike chain eliminating the frustrations associated with chains such as lubrication and chain jams. The belt in made from a carbon fiber composite which prevents stretching and its lightweight design gives a ninja-quiet ride. It uses an 8-speed drivetrain with Shimano shifters that is unique to the 2009 Trek Soho. It uses several parts from Bontrage such as the seat, crank and H2 Plus reflective tires. The Trek Soho features an Alpha Black Aluminum frame with rubber top tube protection in sizes from 15" to 25" and comes in a Rainy Day Gray finish. As an added commuter bonus, it includes a custom built coffee thermos and corresponding holder.

Trek Madone 3.1

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:52:55 -0400

The Trek Madone 3.1 is a high-end road bicycle designed to balance performance and price point. Its 3 Series TCT Carbon frame ensures lightweight durability while its Shimano 105 drivetrain ensures stable and consistent performance. Additionally, the Madone 3.1 sports integrated fender and rack mounts.

The Madone 3.1's 3 Series TCT (Trek Carbon Technology) Carbon frame was specifically designed to offer similar performance to Trek's higher-end OCLV carbon frames but with cheaper production coasts. As such the Madone 3.1's TCT Carbon frame offers stiffness and durability comparable to OCLV carbon but with a slightly heavier (200gsm) manufacturing process. Meanwhile, the Madone 3.1's Shimano 105 drivetrain features a lightweight aluminum 10-speed cassette which ensures crisp gear changing and Shimano 105 front and rear derailleurs for smooth gear changing performance even under heavy strain.

Bianchi Imola (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:07 -0400

The Bianchi Imola (2011) in a mid-cost road bike offering that has the same frame as the flagship Vigorelli (2011) model. The factor most emphasized by Bianchi in promotion is the triple chainring in the front of this model's drivetrain. This design provides a wide selection of gears (this bike is equipped with twenty-seven speeds in total). The Imola (2011) model's TIG welded chromoly frame is reinforced with Reynolds 631 tubing, which is what puts this model at a higher cost than the Volpe (2011) model. However, the Imola (2011) lacks the flagship Vigorelli (2011) model's Shimano 105 derailleurs, crankset and brakes (which are lighter than the Imola (2011) model's Tiagra components), as well as its FSA stem and handlebar.

Felt AR5

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:53:21 -0500

The Felt AR5 is a road bike designed for aerodynamic movement. This is very similar to the Felt AR4, with the same Ultra High Modulus carbon fiber frame and fork. The difference comes in the Shimano 105 drivetrain and braking system, which adds a small amount of weight to the bike. Apart from this they are the same, with an aerodynamic advantage of almost 2% over round tube shaped bikes and extensive use of light-weight components. The wheelset uses Felt AeroR4 700c rims with a CNC machined surface for braking, and aluminum nipples are used for grip that only improves with heat. The finish on the bike is a matte clear and white combination.

Specialized S-Works Venge DA

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:31 -0400

The Specialized S-Works Venge DA is a high-end street racing bike. This is similar to the Specialized S-Works Venge SRAM in frame and design, but uses Shimano Dura-Ace components instead of SRAM. The Shimano Dura-Ace 10-speed drivetrain is used here for fast and quiet shifting. They are otherwise the same, with the frame itself fully UCI-legal, and using the FACT IS 11r Aero Race design with full-monocoque carbon materials for light weight and stiffness. The bike uses internal cable routing and a tapered head tube for better aerodynamics. The carbon fork is also UCI-legal, and has a 3:1 airfoil shaping with a straight profile. Carbon dropouts are also used with co-molded steel inserts for durability. The crankset comes directly from Specialized, and uses a removable carbon spider design with ceramic bearings for the best strength to weight ratio.

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:06 -0400

The Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011) is a mid-cost offering. In promotion, Bianchi emphasizes the responsiveness of the Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011), which is due in part to its array of Shimano components (shifters, front/rear derailleurs and sprocket). This model comes in the lower middle of this line of road bikes, with a higher quality hydroform aluminum frame than the lower cost Via Nirone 7 2300 (2011) model, as well as more speeds (nine instead of eight). Both the Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011) and Via Nirone 7 2300 (2011) models have Reparto Corse brakes, which are comprised of a forged aluminum alloy that helps with braking control. The Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011) model lacks the butted aluminum frame of the higher cost Via Nirone 7 Tiagra (2011) model.

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:05 -0400

The Bianchi Sempre Ultegra (2011) is a racing bike designed for serious cyclists and road warriors.

Bianchi Oltre Dura Ace (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:03 -0400

The Bianchi Oltre Dura Ace is the Bergamo-based company's latest superbike in their HOC series of racing bikes. Named the Italian word for 'beyond', this high performance bike weighs in total under 14lbs, making it easy to lug around, but also giving it exceptional response when riding, quickly manipulated underneath, and accelerating incredibly fast without bulk to hinder propulsion. Fitted with Vittoria Evo Corsas, the 23mm skinny tires are designed to be surefooted in inclement weather. The carbon-specific SwissStop brake pads and DT rims offer biting stops not usually associated with carbon brake tracks, while handling and road connection maintain throughout the entirety of the Oltre's frame. While the price may be restrictive to casual riders, the Oltre was designed with little compromise for optimal racing performance.

SwissStop brake pads
Nano tech carbon fibre frame
Full carbon fork

Shimano Dura Ace 10sp front and rear derailleur

Bianchi Camaleonte Uno (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:08 -0400

The Active FM3166 rail steel saddle on adjustable Spectra SP-222 alloy seatpost, and Leechi HB-T305 alloy handlebar offer customizable comfort for different forms and styles of riding, and lend to what is ultimately a very reasonable choice for quality city biking.

Specialized Sirrus Pro

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:37 -0400

The Specialized Sirrus Pro is a mid-range road bike for urban travel. This uses the same frame design as the Specialized Sirrus Comp bike, but uses a FACT 8r carbon material for lighter weight without sacriicing strength. Zertz inserts are used in the frame with a tapered head tube, which achieves a blend of stiffness and compliance for a responsive and forgiving ride. The components are all different as well, with a FACT carbon fork that uses Zertz inserts that combine responsive road feel with forgiveness. The SRAM Apex 10-speed rear derailleur is designed for fast and durable gear shifting. The Body Geometry Riva Road saddle uses hollow Cr-Mo rails along with enough padding for comfortable all-day riding.

The Bianchi Brava (2011) is a mid-cost twenty-seven speed road bike. This model comes in the lower middle of the Gran Fondo line of road bikes, with more speeds than the base Campione (2011) model, but lacking the higher cost Volpe (2011) model's Shimano Tiagra shifters and derailleurs (the Brava (2011) has Shimano's lower grade 2300 components instead), WTB Terrainasaurus tires (the Brava (2011) is equipped with the more common Vittoria ZAFFIRO tires), and Sugino crankset. Features shared by the Brava (2011), Campione (2011) and Volpe (2011) models include a chromoly fork with aluminum steerer, which delivers a stiff feel. The cro-mo frame of all three models contributes to a solid design.

Kona Kona TT

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:13:37 -0400

The Kona Kona TT is a road bike featuring a 7005 Aluminum frame that is tough, durable, affordable, light and potentially dependable. Also featured is a Kona Carbon fork, Mavic wheels, and a Shimano drivetrain. Unlike the barebones Honky models, the Kona TT is utilitarian to a degree, but not so much so that it lacks any advanced features. For instance, included is an internal headset located within the heat tube, which allows it to better absorb stress and therefore improve ride characteristics and overall performance. Additional features include a sloping top tube that allows for more room for correct positioning and free body movement; and a compact rear triangle that helps maintain the right balance between stability and power transfer.

Bianchi Volpe (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:07 -0400

The Bianchi Volpe (2011) is a mid-cost road bike available in several different sizes. The Shimano Tiagra gear shifter and derailleurs of this model are designed for smooth operation. The Tiagra equipment is one of the factors that sets this model apart from the lower cost Brava (2011) model. The Volpe (2011) model's high performance Sugino crankset and WTB All Terrainasaurus tires are the other factors. To help make this bike durable, it is designed with a chromoly fork and frame. The chromoly design also provides the Volpe (2011) with a rigid feel. This model comes right in the middle of the Gran Fondo line of road bikes, lacking the higher cost Imola (2011) model's Reynolds 631 tubing-reinforced frame, though the Imola (2011) has lower quality tires.

Bianchi Via Nirone 7 2300 (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:07 -0400

The Bianchi Via Nirone 7 2300 (2011) is the base model in this line of road bikes. Though they have many specs in common, this model is a step down from the higher cost Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011) model in that the Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011) is equipped with a hydroformed aluminum frame, which offers more lightweight stiffness than the Via Nirone 7 2300 (2011) model's straight-up aluminum frame. The Via Nirone 7 Sora (2011) is also a nine speed model, whereas the Via Nirone 7 2300 (2011) has only eight speeds. Features shared between the two models include a Bianchi-made fork, which is comprised of an aluminum/carbon combination, a design that helps to ensure durability. Another shared feature is 6061 alloy handlebars, which contribute to a rigid feel.

Specialized Allez Sport

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:46:25 -0400

Specialized Allez Sport represents two (Double, Triple) budget-friendly, competitive racing bicycles. They both feature a Specialized Allen A1 Premium aluminum frame with an Allez carbon fork. They’re both designed to perform exceptionally well in high-speed situations, while also keeping the user safe and in a comfortable position. Included is a Specialized Comp Ergo handlebar that keeps users’ hands in an ergonomic position.

Bianchi Via Nirone 7 105 (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:06 -0400

The Bianchi Via Nirone 7 105 (2011) is a mid-cost road bike, a flagship offering with a variety of size options available. This model is a step up from the lower cost Via Nirone 7 Tiagra (2011) model in that it has ten speeds instead of nine, as well as a customized headset for an optimum feel. Other than that, the two models share features. One feature common to both models is a hydroform aluminum tube frame, which helps to keep the weight of the bike down. The butted design of this tubing helps to ensure durability. Another shared feature geared toward durability is the composite/aluminum hybrid fork.

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:32 -0400

The Specialized Tarmac Elite Apex is a mid-range road bike for enthusiasts. It uses a FACT IS 8r carbon SL2 frame designed to be light and stiff for good control, with a tapered head tube and elliptical seatstays for better aerodynamics while still staying within compliance. A matching FACT carbon fork is also used for light and stiff response, and uses a tapered steerer with a 12K weave construction for extra strength. The ergonomically designed aluminum handlebar is built to handle the weight of the rider pressing down on it.

Specialized S-Works Venge SRAM

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:30 -0400

The Specialized S-Works Venge SRAM is a street racing bike for pro-level athletes. This is nearly the same as the Specialized S-Works Venge DA in frame and design, but uses SRAM components instead of Shimano Dura-Ace. The SRAM RED group carbon shifters are designed with "double tap" technology for quick and intuitive shifting with an adjustable reach. The rest of the bike is identical, with a UCI-legal FACT IS 11r Aero Race frame design that uses full-monocoque carbon materials to make it stiff for improved response while still keeping the weight low. Aerodynamic design elements include internal cable routing and a tapered head tube, and the carbon fork uses a 3:1 airfoil shaping. To keep the fork durable, a straight profile design is used along with carbon dropouts and co-molded steel inserts. The crankset is a Specialized S-Works FACT carbon system with OSBB, removable carbon spider, and ceramic bearings to balance strength with light weight.

Felt F5 Special Edition

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:53:23 -0500

The Felt F5 Special Edition is an upper mid-cost road bike. The frame of this is Felt's HM High Modulus Modular carbon fiber frame with 3KP finish and replaceable hanger. The fork of the F5 Special Edition is also High Modulus carbon, which helps this bike to be durable. This fork comes with a compression device, allowing you to fine-tune performance. The saddle and seat post are also carbon-based, adding to the solidness of this bike. The ergonomic grip of the 6061 Butted Aluminum handlebar helps to make the ride comfortable. At 18.22 pounds, the F5 Special Edition is a lightweight ride. The grips of this bike are Felt's Gel Ribbon Cork Tape grips. The brakes of the F5 Special Edition are Shimano Super SLR Dual Pivot brakes with Cartridge Brake Shoes. These brakes are able to make quick stops when needed. This bike differs from the lower cost F5 model in that it has a team issue finish, Swiss SL butted spokes (instead of plain stainless steel), and AeroR4 Sealed Bearing CNC Machined 7075 Aluminum front and rear hub with Cr-Mo Quick Release Skewer (instead of plain forged aluminum front and rear hubs). However, this bike lacks the higher cost F4 model's Shimano aluminum spokes, Shimano aluminum front and rear hub, more premium Rubino Pro Folding tires, and lower weight (only 17.45 pounds), which helps it to be a faster bike.

Trek Madone 4.5

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:05:28 -0400

The Trek Madone 4.5 is the entry level road bike in the Madone series and the only bike in the group along with the Madone 4.7 that has a TCT carbon frame instead of the standard OCLV based frame. Shimano 105 series parts are used for the drivetrain which includes the shifters, derailleurs, crank and cassette as well as breaks, and, Bontrager components have been included as well which make up the saddle, seat post, handlebars, stem, headset and brakeset. Double and triple chain versions are available although the bike can not be purchased with the 'Pro fit' shorter head tube like others in the series, only 'Performance fit' is offered. The overall weight is extremely light and even lighter than some bikes that cost more, including the wheels and tires which are also made by Bontrager. Although the frame is made from a slightly less expensive material, the TCT carbon frame is strong enough to support medium to heavy riders who enjoy the odd road race yet aren't competing on the pro-level.

Felt Z85

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:53:26 -0500

The Felt Z85 is a proper road bike offered at an entry-level price.

Bianchi Infinito 105 (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:06 -0400

The Bianchi Infinito 105 (2011) is a road warrior bike designed for traveling extremely long distances with maximum performance and minimum fatigue.

Specialized Tarmac Comp Compact Ultegra

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:31 -0400

The Comp Compact Ultegra is a low to mid range racing bicycle from Specialized's Tarmac racing series. The less specialized components relative to the higher end Tarmac SL3 and S-Works Tarmac models are also reflected in the much more affordable price tag, but still backed by the company's premium name. The Shimano Ultegra 10-speed shifters offer high performance accuracy and smoothness, all in a lightweight design. The bulk of the bicycle remains incredibly lightweight as well, with the FACT IS 8r carbon SL2 frame, that offers race ready stiffness, and the FACT carbon fork features a tapered steerer and 12K weave construction to offer improved compliance. The FACT carbon Pave seatpost also improves comfort for long and bumpy rides, relying on its Zertz inserts to dampen road vibration and improve efficiency.

Bianchi Milano Citta (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:09 -0400

The Bianchi Milano Citta (2011) is a road bike designed for a smooth and comfortable ride. This is a lower-cost version of the Bianchi Milano Alfine (2011), and uses the same Bianchi 26 MILANO CITY Aluminum frame and comfortable Viscount 2503 steel rail saddle. The differences can be found in the gearing system, in this case being an external (rather than internal) 8-gear system and an added carrier on the back to enable the easy attachment of cargo and suitcases. Shimano parts are still used for the shifters and derailleur, and Wellgo LU-206 pedals are used to offer good traction on shoes without being a danger to fabrics. Large HJC DA-17 36h rims are used to provide a smooth and easy ride, and the Bianchi alloy handlebars are built low to offer better control.

Bianchi Infinito Ultegra (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:06 -0400

The Bianchi Infinito Ultegra (2011) is a road bike designed to be ergonomic and promote an optimal riding position so that serious road enthusiasts can ride for hours without experiencing discomfort. Like its peers, the Ultegra uses a slacker head angle, taller top tube, and longer chain-stays for enhanced stability, greater smoothness, and improved comfort. As an immediate upgrade from the 105, however, the Ultegra trades in Shimano 105 components for Shimano Ultegra components. The position of the brake level pivot has been changed for greater leverage, the drivetrain configuration had been updated to reduce rubbing on the front derailleur when the chain is exposed to extreme chain angles, and the braking power has been increased to allow for higher levels of control & response. The Ultegra, however, inherits a few traits from its predecessor, including Active Technology for enhanced power transfer, and improved vibration dampening so as to ensure the bike performs smoothly on any surface, no matter how rough.

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:59:20 -0400

The Lexa SLX is a high-end road bicycle from Trek that offers a step-up from the company's Lexa SL model. Available in two different color schemes, this model is designed specifically for professional-level female cyclists. Trek's own Alpha Black Aluminum construction technology utilizes hydroformed 6000-series aluminum for reduced chassis weight, resulting in an aerodynamic profile that has been smooth welded for sleek aesthetics. A carbon-legged Bontrager Race fork is included with SpeedTrap compatibility for on-the-go digital speed reference, working in conjunction with the bike's SSR-series wheels and 43-centmeter R1 tires. The SLX's drivetrain is made up entirely of Shimano 105 components, including a set of 10-speed STI shifters and a pair of matching derailleurs for smooth, controlled gearing. Compact and triple crank sets are available based on the environment that the bike will be used in, while an additional 10-speed cassette offers fine-tuned adjustment in advanced uphill and downhill applications.

Schwinn Prelude

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:38 -0400

The Schwinn Prelude is a low-cost road bike geared toward the entry level rider. The model differs from the slightly lower cost Volare (which is fitness oriented) in a variety of ways. First, to keep the ride light and simple, the Prelude has only fourteen speeds (as opposed to twenty-one). For the same reason, this model has a double derailleur instead of the Volare's wider triple derailleur. Another difference is that this model has a drop bar design, which encourages control, and thus is more suited to beginners than the Volare's drop bar design is. To keep your ride comfortable, both models are equipped with a Quality saddle. The frame of both models is lightweight, and built to be responsive.

Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL3 Dura-Ace

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:32 -0400

The Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL3 Dura-Ace is a high-end road bike designed for athletes. This is very similar to the Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL3 Di2, but uses the more traditionally designed Shimano Dura-Ace 10-speed shifters and a FACT carbon Pave seatpost with a Zertz insert to reduce vibrations. In all other ways they are the same, including the use of a FACT IS 11r carbon SL3 frame that weighs less than 1000 grams. This frame has increased tortional stiffness for better control and power transfer, and uses Zertz seatstay inserts. A matching FACT full carbon monocoque fork is used for stiff control with vibration-dampening Zertz inserts. Shimano Dura Ace carbon tubeless wheels are also used for better response and reduced weight.

Features

FACT IS 11r carbon SL3 frame weighs less than 1000grams
Zertz seatstay inserts
FACT full carbon monocoque fork with vibration-damping Zertz inserts
Shimano Dura Ace carbon tubeless wheelset
Specialized S-Works FACT carbon crankset with oversized BB, removable carbon spider, and ceramic bearings

Felt F15X

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:53:31 -0500

The Felt F15X is a high-cost road bike. Like the other bikes in this product line, the components of the F15X are geared toward cyclocross racing. The F15X's carbon fiber fork takes the edge off rough transitions, and helps to make this bike durable. The Superlite 7005 aluminum frame is double butted for a solid feel. This frame features forged horizontal dropouts with stainless steel inserts, for added durability. The handlebar of the F15X is 6061 aluminum. This bike is equipped with Tektro high profile Euro-style cantilever brakes, which are made for precision stops. The xR3 700c 24mm deep aluminum rims of this bike are equipped with a CNC machined braking surface. This design helps with brake control. This bike differs from the lower cost Breed model in that it has more heavy duty components (such as carbon seat stays), and is also more lightweight (17.62 pounds as opposed to 18.27 pounds). However, this model lacks the higher cost F75X's maximum mud-shedding frame and fork. The Felt F15X road bike comes in a lime green color.

Felt F5

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:53:23 -0500

The Felt F5 is an upper mid-cost road bike. Felt promotes this bike as being equally adept at city limit sprints or long alpine climbs. At 18.22 pounds, the F5 is a lightweight ride. The frame of this ten-speed is Felt's HM High Modulus Modular carbon fiber frame with 3KP Finish. The fork of the F5 is also High Modulus carbon, which helps this bike to be durable. This fork comes with a compression device, allowing you to fine-tune performance. The saddle and seat post are also carbon-based, adding to the solidness of this bike. The 6061 Butted Aluminum handlebar of the F5 has an ergonomic drop, which helps to make the ride comfortable. The grips of this bike are Felt's Gel Ribbon Cork Tape grips, which help you to keep a stiff grip. The brakes of the F5 are Shimano Super SLR Dual Pivot brakes with Cartridge Brake Shoes. These brakes are able to make quick stops when needed. This bike differs from the higher cost F5 Special Edition model in that the F5 Special Edition has a team issue finish, Swiss SL butted spokes (instead of plain stainless steel), and AeroR4 Sealed Bearing CNC Machined 7075 Aluminum front and rear hub with Cr-Mo Quick Release Skewer (instead of plain forged aluminum front and rear hubs). The Felt F5 road bike comes in a glossy red and clear finish.

Felt F2

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:53:22 -0500

The Felt F2 is a high end road bike. The most unique aspect of the F2 is its electronic gear-shifting system (which is the main feature that sets it apart from the lower cost F3 model). The electronic system changes gears quicker than a traditional gear-shifting system, and requires less maintenance. This system comes equipped with a battery. The brakes of the F2 are Shimano Ultegra Dual Pivot brakes with Cartridge Brake Shoes. These brakes are professional racing quality. The Rubino Pro Folding tires of this bike are a hallmark of the series. The ergonomic grip of the 6061 Butted Aluminum handlebar helps to make your ride comfortable. The grips of the F2 are Felt's Gel Ribbon Cork Tape grips. This bike is a step down from the flagship F1 model in that it lacks the F1's Vittoria Diamante Pro-Light Kevlar Bead Folding tires, Shimano Dura-Ace wheels, UHC-Nano carbon fiber frame and fork technology (which keeps the bike's weight down while making it more durable), and much lighter weight (13.98 pounds as opposed to 16.88 pounds). There are size options available for the Felt F2 road bike.

Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL3 Di2

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:33 -0400

The Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL3 Di2 is a high-end racing bike for professional athletes. This is similar to the Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL3 Dura-Ace, but uses a more advanced Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting system that quickly and precisely shifts between the 10 gears at the touch of a finger. It also has a Body Geometry Chicane Carbon saddle with a more traditional rounded shape that uses a full carbon shell and hollow titanium rails. In other ways they are the same, including the use of a FACT IS 11r carbon SL3 frame that weighs less than 1000 grams. The frame has increased torsional stiffness for better power transfer and Zertz seatstay inserts. A matching FACT full carbon monocoque fork is used with Zertz inserts to dampen vibrations.

Specialized CruX Expert Carbon

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:36 -0400

The Specialized CruX Expert Carbon is a mid-range bike for road and cross racing. This is an upgrade from the Specialized CruX Comp, with the fork upgraded and the frame now built with a carbon material rather than E5 alloy. The frame's design, rims and SRAM Apex 10-speed shifters have remained the same. This is also similar to the Specialized CruX Pro Carbon which uses the same frame and rims, but upgrades the rest of the components in the build. This bike uses a FACT 7m Az1 carbon frame built to be stiff and light, and uses Zertz inserts to absorb some of the vibration. The S-Works FACT carbon monocoque fork also uses SpeedZertz to provide stiff and responsive control while still absorbing some of the vibration.

Features

FACT 7m Az1 carbon easy-shoulder frame
Zertz inserts
S-Works FACT carbon monocoque fork with SpeedZertz
The Roval Pavé SL wheelset with E5 alloy mid-profile aero rim, cold-forged alloy 5-spoke high flange hubs, and DT aero spokes.

This frame features forged horizontal dropouts with stainless steel inserts, for added durability. The bike's total weight is 18.27 pounds. The Breed's carbon fiber fork takes the edge off rough transitions, and also helps with durability. This fork is also geared specifically toward cyclocross racing. The handlebar of the Breed is 6061 aluminum. This bike is equipped with Tektro high profile Euro-style cantilever brakes, which are made with cyclocross in mind. The xR3 700c 24mm deep aluminum rims of the Breed are equipped with a CNC machined braking surface, which helps with your brake control.

Schwinn Volare

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:20:39 -0400

The Volare is Schwinn's lowest cost road bike. This model's components differ quite a bit from that of the similarly priced Prelude model, since this model is designed for fitness and casual riding, while the Prelude is geared toward entry level riders. One of the main differences between the models is their frame design, this model having a flatbar, and the Prelude having a drop bar design. Another difference is that the Volare has twenty-one speeds while the Prelude has only fourteen. A third difference is that this model has a pair of triple derailleurs, which is better for hill work than the Prelude's double derailleur set. One feature shared between both models is the Quality saddle, which makes for a soft ride.

Giant Defy 3

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:58:30 -0500

Giant has come up with an affordable road bike, the Defy 3, for beginners. What makes the Defy 3 different from the Defy 1 and 2 is its 52/42/30 triple ring instead of a compact crank. However, performance-oriented cyclists will still find the Defy 3 suitable with its wide range of gears and its eight-speed Shimano rear derailleur. A tapered fork steerer and large bottom-bracket shell allow for bigger tubes all around and a stiffer, more responsive ride. Road vibrations are dampened by the carbon-composite fork with the aluminum steerer. The Defy 3 rides like the Defy Advanced and Defy Alliance, higher-up race-oriented bikes, but with the shorter top tube and geometry provides more comfort and upright ride. The Defy 3 comes in charcoal/silver black and black/silver/white.

Features:

Bianchi Zurigo (2011)

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:27:10 -0400

The Bianchi Zurigo (2011) is a mid-range cyclocross bike with an aluminum frame. The CYCLOCROSS frame design is similar to the one used on the Bianchi Zurigo (2011), but uses a hydroformed aluminum alloy for a lower price point. The components used on the bike are all different, in this case to support increased durability. SRAM APEX parts are used in the shifters and derailleurs for consistent and reliable gear shifting. The wheel system is more complex, with front and rear hubs built as sealed bearing alloy 32H bearings that work with Inox 2mm spokes, Reparto Corse rims, and Vittoria Cross XG tires. The brakes are a Reparto Corse cantilever design, and the brake levers are integrated with the handlebars.
