Road cycling is possibly the most energy efficient, fast paced form of cycling there is. Their aerodynamic design and slender aesthetic allow you to split through the headwind and maintain the pace you've grafted to gain, while the combination of larger 700c wheels and slim, 120psi capable tyres minimise rolling resistance.
This Dallingridge Optimum Road Bike has been designed with these core characteristics, without the un-necessary bells & whistles shooting the price up. If you're someone who embarks on a lengthy, or congested commute, or just love the idea of hitting the open road without breaking the bank; the Optimum is a great place to start.
Based around a robust Steel road frame and tapered fork, rolling on 700c Alloy wheels and 25c tyres to achieve that rigid, direct and confidence aspiring riding feel. Dallingridge have included an 14 speed Shimano gearing system with centre mounted SIS shifters, broadening the bikes, and indeed, rider's capability should it come to a stubborn ascent or aggressive descent.
Braking is taken care of by a traditional, simplistic calliper system with authentic drop-bar levers.
A great foot in the door to the world of road cycling.
