Dryburgh Cycles

2011 Dawes HORIZON 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 Horizon features a reliably strong, yet light, Reynolds 520 chromoly frame and chromoly forks. The geometry is configured to give enhanced comfort even through those long days in the saddle. It is equipped with 24 speed Shimano Alivio gears, Tektro Oryx cantilever brakes, Alex double wall alloy rims, Shimano hubs and Schwalbe tyres. Those long journeys are made more comfortable with a Dawes Tour Gel saddle and chromoplastic mudguards.
