Dawes SONORAN Trekking Bike 2011
Trekking bikes have always been at the forefront of the Dawes range. They can be used for daily commutes, trips to the shops and leisurely rides around the countryside. If you're looking for a bike to ride on a daily basis on tarmac roads or towpaths then don't fall into the mountain bike trap, mountain bikes are designed with frames and gears suitable for riding over uneven terrain meaning that on those smooth roads you will be spinning away on the pedals and getting nowhere fast. Also if the weather takes a turn for the worst then you will find yourself with a nice wet stripe up your back.
Our trekking bikes are designed to give maximum output with minimum input when travelling around town. They also feature key components such as full mudguards to keep you dry, adjustable stems and comfort saddles to help prevent aches and pains whilst riding and rear racks to enable you to carry panniers when out on those longer rides.
The 6061 aluminium frame keeps the weight to a minimum on the Sonoran. Other high quality parts such as the 24 speed Shimano Alivio Rapidfire gears, alloy v-brakes and Alex Ace 19 rims help keep the weight low whilst maintaining superb performance. The Sonoran also gives reassurance from that bit of extra comfort ; brought to you with the elastomer saddle, suspension seatpost, and adjustable stem. As you would expect, the spec is completed with chromoplastic mudguards, dogleg rear alloy carrier and alloy pedals.
Available with an optional suspension fork upgrade for an additional fee of £35.00
