PERFORMANCE / FITNESS ROADReal World Speed for Real World RidersThere’s an undeniable thrill to riding fast -- that singing hiss of tires oversmooth asphalt, the blurring rush of wind, there’s nothing else like it. Andas much as we love racing bikes, the reality is most of us don’t live that allconsuminglifestyle. Between the obligations of work, home lives and familieswe look forward to seeing, we just don’t do the kind of riding that gets themost from a purebred racer. Which is why our Xenith Endura and Venturaseries bikes, or the Eclipse, Quest and Satellite are the perfect bikes for mostof us -- this is racing technology, tempered and tuned to emphasize speed,but with the hard edges taken off.Xenith Endura uses the same exacting carbon technology as our allconqueringXeniths. Same high-tech advanced monocoque, high moduluscarbon fiber, Dyad fiber layups and size-specific tubing. So you get trulylightweight, go-fast tech, but with slightly relaxed geometry for a morecompliant ride, one that provides a touch more comfort without tradingaway the speed.We performed the same trick with the rest of our Performance/Fitnessbikes. We’ve tuned our lightweight aluminum and Reynolds steel framesfor an all-day ride, with nimble handling and an incredible corneringgrip, but with the same attention to detail we apply to our competitionroad machines. The result is bikes that are sized and proportioned tofit perfectly (which is why we’re so committed to dedicated women’sbikes, which properly accommodate women’s proportions), with stableyet-quickhandling and the kind of speedy efficiency that makes themfavorites for weekend club rides, centuries, long-distance fundraisersand all-day adventures.Photo ©:John Segesta - wahoomedia.comSpeed is fun, absolutely. But at the end of the day what you’ll appreciateeven more is how much fresher you’ll feel because of the way thesebikes fit and the way they ride. We use our SST size-specific tubingso that every frame size rides correctly, whether you’re extra-petiteor a towering physical specimen. And we use proportionally sizedcomponents for all our bikes, so the handlebars, grips, cranks andstems help you achieve that perfect riding position, one that tucks youin from the wind, without subjecting your body to the kind of extremesroad racers endure as a matter of course.If our competition bikes are no-compromise racers, these are the nextbest thing--race bikes that aren’t so unyieldingly demanding, givingup just a few percentage points in the performance department fora manifold payback in comfort, one that will return dividends instamina and mileage. So good, so fast, so fun, you’ll be ready andeager to ride again tomorrow.62 63
