A fast all-round road bike for those that don’t want to pay the carbon-tax. Built on a stiff and strong aluminum frame, the Stratos S5D is a great performer and only a little heavier than its carbon counterpart. Shimano’s tried-and-true 105 groupset provides quick shifts and incredible stopping power, giving you high-end performance without breaking the bank. The Schwalbe One tires have low rolling resistance for speed on the straights and subtle side wall cuts for grip in the corners. Great for new road riders, occasional road riders, or just roadies on a budget, the S5D cuts the cost without cutting performance.
