“Flat-bar road bike” might have once seemed like a typographical error. But make no mistake, the Strada is a thoughtful road bike with lots of admirers appreciating its mix of performance and rider comfort. The flat handlebar (with an adjustable stem and bar ends), wide-range 27-speed gearing, and suspension seatpost make the miles easier on your body and help you enjoy the Strada’s road bike essence. Sure, it’s not for everyone, but everyone who it’s for is happy the Strada exists.
Highlights: Double-butted chrome-moly steel frame. Carbon fork. SRAM X-7 Shorty shifters with SX-5 rear derailleur and 9-speed cassette. Poise suspension seatpost.
