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.
