Dawes MIRAGE Trekking Bike 2011 W
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 Mirage features a lightweight 6061 alloy frame and steel unicrown forks. Equipped with 18 speed Shimano gears, mudguards and a rear carrier.. The Mirage is great for budget commuting and leisurely rides.
Available with an optional suspension fork upgrade for an additional fee of £35
