How does it make your ride better?
The biggest change to your ride since Dad took off the training wheels, the Carbon Drive System trades messy chains for a super strong polyurethane belt. If you love mountain biking, this puts the challenge back where it belongs—in the hill and not the bike. If you use your bike to commute, you’ll need new excuses for showing up late because there won’t be grease stains to back up your story. Either way, you can’t stop smiling because you just rode the bike that finally keeps up with you.
