Comfort

EASY ACCESS We're super proud of the Citizen's sleek frame design. With an arcing top tube for the "Men's" frames and S-bend top and down tubes for a super-low step-through "Women's" version. In fact, we hesitate to designate either with gender specific labels because the version with the easy-access, low step-over top tube is suitable for anyone with limited hip flexibility who might be challenged to swing a leg over the rear wheel when mounting & dismounting. EASY ON THE NECK & BACK A usual complaint from new or returning riders trying to get into the cycling groove is feeling uncomfortably perched forward with too much weight on their wrists and having to crank their necks backwards just to be able to see in traffic. We specifically designed our Citizens to remedy this. The large diameter 700c wheels push handlebar height up and shorter top tubes pull handlebars closer to the saddle, all to mitigate forward lean. Our 4-inch rise handlebars sweep back at a natural hand-grasp angle with a long-quilled or angle-adjustable stem that allows for a wide range of adjustment to tune handle bar height and reach perfectly for each ride. GEARED TO GO The shifting systems on all our Citizens feature long cage rear derailleurs, full-size 48/38/28T triple-chainring cranksets (single 44t chainring for Citizen base model) and big 11-32T or 14-34T gearing in the back. This gives you the dual advantage of having fairly tall gears for controlled pedaling at speed on descents as well as really low gearing for easier pedaling uphill. It's a rider-friendly combination that's made the Citizens a perennial favorite of recreational cyclists.

BEST IN CLASS COMFORT Our Hudsons are capable but cool. Casual but on it. The flowing curves and shaped tubes provide a design that rides comfortably, casually and efficiently while making a bold statement all at the same time. Our super plush saddle features Memory Foam padding for optimum support with maximum comfort. The slip-resistant suede-like top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs also help to soak up road vibrations.

Musically speaking, Allegro means quick and lively. Which exactly characterizes the spirit of our Allegros: fitness bikes that are lively, quick and seriously fun to ride. Our Allegros blend the speed and efficiency of a road bike with the heads up riding position many people prefer. When it comes to fitness training and peak performance, nothing is more detrimental to flying fast than carrying more weight than you need to. Which is why every Allegro is built with lightweight triple butted 6061 aluminum tubing. In fact, our aluminum Allegro frames shed 14 ounces over their steel Coda counterparts. We design comfort into the naturally stiffer ride by specifying large volume 32c tires, using similar geometry as our Codas and then adding a few millimeters to the wheelbase length for just a tad more compliance. - Size Specific Design Triple-butted 6061 aluminum frame with fast back rear triangle - Jamis full carbon composite fork with carbon steerer - Alex TD26 double wall disc specific alloy rims - Shimano Rapidfire Plus Altus, 18-speed - Shimano FC-MT210 crankset - Shimano Altus RD-M2000 rear and Shimano Altus FD- M370 front derailleur - Tektro HD-M280/281 hydraulic Flat Mount disc brakes - Jamis Touring saddle with SL cover
