This is where having a multi-surface bike like the Raleigh Through its aluminum frame, upright geometry, and beastly 40c tires, the Willard offers a smooth, stable ride quality that'll keep you pedaling in comfort over the long haul. Additionally, the frame employs thru axles which not only offer stiffer ends, but they also keep you tracking true to your lines. Looking to the build, the TRP mechanical disc brakes are a surefire improvement from conventional rim brakes, translating to more confidence in your stopping power, which is much needed when you're loaded up and pointed down a steep and dirty descent.

That makes them the longest continuously-operating bicycle manufacturer in the world. Raleigh as a brand has spanned some serious history and we know that doesn't happen as a result of delivering mediocre product. They create bikes with a purpose and an intent that is relevant to us, the customers, and how we are using and experiencing these mechanical wonders that are bikes. The first Raleigh models rolled out in 1885 England amongst the horses and steam engines of the time which brought increased mobility and freedom to many individuals. Raleigh, today, still develops their product around the idea that bikes are fun, convenient and practical. $ (' (id=prSize selector) ') .find ('div:first-child') .append (' View Geometry Chart ') ; $ (function () ( $ ('.size-chart') .fancybox ( ( type: 'ajax', width: 550, height: 400, helpers: ( overlay: ( locked: false ) ) ) ) ; ) ) ;
