48/38/28 triple crankset and 11-28 cassette provide all the gears required for fun, swift cruising and efficient hill climbing. A tough, light alloy frame and just the right amount of suspension make the San Rafael the easy choice for commuting, training or simply having fun. Because its frame is light, the bike accelerates efficiently and is easily handled going on or coming off a rack. But what about the back side? No problem. San Rafael's suspension seat post prevents minor bumps from jostling the saddle. Front and rear V-brakes with power modulation provide reliable, smooth deceleration. Lightweight aluminum frame features a downtube triple-butted for durability; (tube walls are thick at the ends and narrow twice toward the middle). No special shoes required—platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes. Odessa suspension fork damps road shock up the front of the bike with an impressive 63mm of travel; also features preload and lockout adjustments. Shimano EZ-FIRE Plus shifters and C-100 front and Alivio rear derailleurs provide responsive, smooth shifting through all 24 speeds. WTB Comfort V saddle provides the ergonomic support and cushioning required for day-long riding. WTB rims, alloy hubs and Kenda Kwest tires provide an efficient "big wheel" ride that comes to speed quickly and minimizes small bumps in the road.
