Cadenza
Perfect for
- Beating traffic on your morning ride.
- The lunch ride.
- Vineyard hopping in Napa.
- Buzzing back and forth on school campus.
Road Bikes
Life in the streets is about mobility and
individuality. This sums up the new
Cadenza perfectly. Compact road
gearing and high pressure Conti tires take
care of the mobility. Individuality comes
by a frame built for customization: an
eccentric bottom bracket allows you to
switch to a hub gear or fixie; the frame
is designed for V or disc brakes; the rear
triangle accommodates tires up to 2.0”;
and fender and rack braze-ons mean
you can add just about any off-the-shelf
accessories. Patented LockJaw” frame
technology is so clean that you can
barely tell the frame folds.
- Dahon F.I.T. stem offers 50mm of adjustment for a custom riding position.
- FSA Compact road crankset combined with a wide ratio 11/28T cassette deliver plenty of gearing for hill climbing.
- Shimano Tiagra drivetrain with Shimano flat-bar shifters.
