COMFORTABLE PERFORMANCE
You don’t have to leave your own neighborhood for adventure. Go on an Explorer, and experience the
familiar in an entirely different way. Wave to the neighbors. Discover what lies at the end of the street. See.
Explorers emphasize comfort with bump-taming suspension seatposts and plush saddles in male- and
female-specific versions that fit your body better and provide more support. We put the shifting controls at your
fingertips, making it easy to stay in an efficiently comfortable gear.
Your fingers draped naturally over the brake levers, with the handlebar grips snugly in your palms for comfortable
control that’s almost telepathic. Short of our kids’ bikes, these aluminum lightweights may be the world’s easiest
bikes to ride.
And that means you’re free to let your mind wander, look around you, and experience the world from a more vivid
point of view.
We designed the Explorer series to fit and ride as comfortably as possible. All frames feature an extra long
head tube -- a full two to three inches longer than on comparably sized mountain bikes. Why? To put your
handlebars in a higher, more comfortable position for less stress on your wrists, neck and back. Those
handlebars, by the way, are manufactured with a three inch rise which not only move your hand position
higher, but enable you to easily rotate the handlebars closer or further away. Our stems offer extra-long
shafts and angle-adjustable extensions so handlebar height and reach can be further tuned and dialed-in
perfectly for you.
