Explore your streets with an urban bike named Desire. Ride to work. Roll to school. Take it out for a quick spin to the store. It's easy to use, easy to love, and best of all, easy to maintain. The rear internal 8-speed hub doesn't require frequent cleaning and allows you to switch gears anytime. If your routes involve lots of climbing, it might not be the best choice, but with larger diameter wheels and a light aluminum frame, the Desire will take you smoothly along city streets and tame gravel roads.
- Lightweight, aluminum frame
- 700 x 35mm tires are built for rolling on roads and dirt roads, pathways, or light trail use
- Shimano® Acera V-brakes (rim brakes) provide great stopping power
- Instead of derailleurs and cassettes, the Desire uses a Shimano Nexus 8-speed internally-geared rear hub which allows you to shift gears at anytime, even while waiting at a stop light
- Upright seated position for visibility in traffic
- Grips provide less pressure on palms and wide, flat tops offer even weight distribution
- Waterproof-coated saddle with gel padding to absorb shock
- Pedals can be fitted with toeclips and straps
