2011 Dawes KARAKUM Touring Bike




We have touring bikes that satisfy the traditionalist as well as those seeking something a little more cutting edge. Take the Galaxy range for instance, using tubesets built with the excellent air hardening qualities from Reynolds or our own butted titanium tubesets for ultra lightness and unrivaled comfort. All are fitted with the highest quality equipment to safely escort you to your destination.

The legendary Galaxy features another legendary tubeset from Reynolds 631. The forks use triple butted chromoly blades that make for a smooth but reliably strong ride for the longest journeys. Equipped with 27 speed Shimano Deore gears with bar end shifters,Shimano cantilever brakes, Tubus Logo carrier, Alex double wall eyeletted rims, Shimano hubs and Schwalbe tyres. The Galaxy is a great touring bike and the best known for a good reason.
