ROAD RACERS IN DISGUISE<br />

The Coda Elite and Coda Comp are really road racers in disguise, with a more upright seating posture<br />

and a mountain bike-like cockpit.<br />

Reynolds steel—legendary 520 chrome-moly tubing—makes up the framework for the Coda Comp and<br />

Elite and delivers responsiveness and ride quality no aluminum frame can match. It simply steals the sting<br />

out of road buzz, providing a Zen-like connection with the road. With a flat handlebar cockpit instead of<br />

drop bars, we provide a more upright seating position, but the Coda frame geometry doesn’t trade away<br />

the cornering advantages of a road bike. Up front, a full-carbon fork provides near-telepathic ride feel, while<br />

damping road vibration, letting you steer with comfortable authority.<br />

Lay your hands on the WTB Kraton grips, and take charge. Bank gently into corners, or whip around a bend with<br />

aggression and put those Vittoria tires to the test. Trigger shifters put 27 gears at your clickable command, and you<br />

can call up the one-finger halting power of the Comp’s Avid Single Digit rim brakes, or the more powerful speedkilling<br />

potential of the Elite’s twin discs.<br />

Go fast, without having to pretzel yourself to fit a road racer. Go Coda.<br />

All Codas offer a full 60mm of stack height under the stem, allowing you to begin your rides<br />

on your new bike with the handlebars well above the top tube for a comfortably upright ride<br />

position. As your back strengthens and stretches and you seek a flatter-backed, more efficient<br />

riding position, you simply remove stem spacers one by one. All Codas feature angle-adjustable<br />

stems as well to further tune handlebar height for a perfectly comfortable fit.<br />

The full carbon composite fork on the Elite and Comp is a huge plus for bikes in this price range<br />

and category. Much lighter than steel or aluminum but exceptionally strong and stiff for precise<br />

cornering, the multi-layered/multi-directional carbon fiber is especially adept at damping road<br />

vibration, producing an exceptionally smooth rolling ride.<br />
