The Mu P8 is one of our most versatile all-around bikes. It’s wonderfully light, fast enough for long weekend rides, and stylish enough to turn heads everywhere you go. For 2008, the Mu gets substantially updated with the robust new V-Clamp frame hinge, a Radius handlepost, the super fast shifting Neos 2.0 derailleur, and a light-weight SlipStream aluminum fork. Lighter, stronger, faster - just the way we like it.
