It’s been 10 years since Bianchi started making single-speed mountain bikes. At first, it was just a way to satisfy a few single-speed free thinkers out there who too often were having to cobble together their bikes. But something happened: They told two friends, who told two friends, and so on. The Lewis stands at the ready to make the whole wide single-speed world happy as can be. It has everything you’re accustomed to seeing on a high-performance 20-something-speed bike — aluminum frame, suspension fork, disc brakes — only with one go-almost-everywhere 32x16 gear. Perfectly simple, and simply perfect.
Highlights: Easton Ultralite aluminum frame. RockSox Reba Team fork with 85mm of travel. Avid mechanical disc brakes. Truvativ Stylo 1.1 crank with rock guard. WTB SpeedDisc wheels and ExiWolf 26x2.1 tires
