Dawes DISCOVERY 401 Hybrid Bike 2011



The Dawes Discovery range is one of the most populr hybrid ranges around and there are a few good reasons for this. They are quick, versatile and offer the rider excellent handling and impeccable quality. All of the Discovery bikes feature a strong, lightweight Aluminium frame with Dynamism custom tubing that offers great strength and handling as well as a fantastic look.

If you are looking to beat the rush hour traffic and get fit in the process then a Discovery bike is for you, with their slim tyres, upright riding position and mounting points for mudguards and racks they are the perfect bike for fast commuting and day to day use.

The Discovery 401 is an all round commuter bike that’ll cruise along the tarmac or light trail. Built  with our brand new Dawes Dynamism alloy tubeset and using  RST Wish T8 forks with remote lockout to tailor road feedback  to your preference. Braking is performed by the superb Quad QMD-5 mechanical disc brakes while the Shimano Altus gears guide you up and down every hill. The 401 also features a suspension seat post for added comfort.
