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 />
