dynamo
MSRP $999
Best commuter bike, period - Still saying it, still meaning it! As Always we put a lot of thought in to how we design and spec with some significant updates to this years 2020 model. New Graphics, and now with a full range 2x 9 speed drivetrain with a far greater than 1:1 gear ratio.
What has not changed, fame is shaped and butted 6061 Alloy, it is more resistant to cracking than a 7000 series alloy frame. Sealed bearing pedals are rare at this price level. They work well with regular shoes, are low profile, will last, will take old school toe clips and straps, or can be sold separately if you upgrade the bike to clipless pedals.
Contact points are also well thought out, the saddle is non-branded and well received by most users, and the grips are clamped on and are ergonomically shaped with dual density material. Of course it has all the mounts and clearance needed for fenders and racks. Comes in 6 frame sizes, so it accommodate riders from under 5’ to over 6.5’.
Sizing: XS-45/S-49/M-53/L-56/XL-59/XXL-62

The commuter bike gold standard.
Everything you need, nothing you don't. Like a full Shimano drivetrain and hydraulic brakes provide control and safety in any weather condition. Anti pinch-flat rims and eyeleted and double wall rims for better strength and repairability.
High Volume pinch flat tires gives you confidence you will get to where you are going without incident. More comfort, more puncture resistant but still fast rolling.
Exceptional value for year round riders who need a do-everything bicycle loaded with features and looks great. Perfect for commuting building fitness, weekend touring or for running errands.
The frame is shaped and butted 6061 Alloy, it is more resistant to cracking than a 7000 series alloy frame for long term durability.
The frame has mounts for everything like fenders or a rear rack and of course has mounts for dual water bottles.
Full Shimano drivetrain
Shimano 9 speed drivetrain, after it’s well worn, with dirty or kinked cables, it will still work, better than a 10-Spd group. This year with the availability of adventure 46/30T gearing we have simplified the drivetrain to 2X for smoother and easier front shifting. Yet with the 11-36T rear cassette you still get a complete range of gear ratios for any speed and any climb.
The Dynamo comes fitted with Shimano brakes and hubs. All of this put together creates a durable, reliable and dependable system with replacement parts that are easily available at any bikes shop.
Well thought out contact points
Comfortable non-descript high quality saddle will suit most riders.
Ergonomically shaped dual density hand grips for long ride comfort.
The grips are clamped on for ease of adjustment and replaceability.
The Dynamo comes with sealed bearing pedals. They work well with regular shoes, are low profile, will last and will take old school toe clips and straps. They can be swapped out and sold if you upgrade the bike to clipless pedals.
