Cruise the streets. Hop a curb. Surf an alley. The nimble Novara Buzz takes on busy city traffic and campus pathways with ease.

  • 6061 aluminum frame combines mountain bike geometry with road bike tubing for a lightweight, heads-up ride that flies up and down city hills
  • Chromoly straight blade fork with tapered legs takes the edge off of the roughest urban roads
  • Hayes MX-4 disc brakes provide positive stopping power no matter the terrain or weather—great if you're riding city traffic on rainy days
  • Two forward chainrings and nine rear cogs create 18 speeds of versatility to conquer the steepest city hill and cruise country roads
  • Truvativ Powerspline bottom bracket and crank interface deliver stellar performance, whether you're grinding a steep hill or drafting a bus
  • SRAM X-7 Twister shifters sport a 1:1 actuation ratio and SRS technology for light, precise indexing; quick view indicator tells you where you're at
  • Features puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur tires mounted on lightweight, double-wall Alex TD24 rims, for speed and durability
  • Allen bolt skewers help to prevent wheel theft while you are away from your Buzz
  • Rear disc brake is mounted on seatstay for easy access and maintenance
  • Kalloy ALU handlebar offers comfortable positioning and enhances your ability to stay on top of traffic changes
  • Velo BUZZ saddle provides padded support and comfort
  • Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—BMX-style platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes
  • Muted graphics offer understated appeal without inviting theft

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Imported.
