With road-bike geometry and flat-bar comfort, the sporty eXpress is the new-school speed machine with unlimited versatility!
- The eXpress is great for readying yourself for a group century ride or weekend tours or comfortably cruising to work
- Double-butted Kinesis 6061 aluminum frame is lightweight, strong and vertically stiff, which allows quick acceleration and efficient ascents
- EVO carbon fiber fork damps minor road vibrations, thereby reducing burdensome shockwaves traveling through hands, arms, shoulders and back
- FSA Vero triple crankset has lightweight and durable cold-forged aluminum arms; ramped and pinned chainrings give crisp shifting and years of solid use
- 9 cogs and the triple chainring provide 27 speeds to tackle any hill or headwind; Shimano derailleurs and shifters perform smoothly and reliably
- Tektro long-reach brakes enhance tire clearance and accommodate fenders and racks easily
- Puncture-resistant, smooth-rolling and lugged with all-weather traction, the Vittoria Randonneur tires offer worry-free functionality
- Lightweight Alex ALX 200 rims and hubs reduce rotational inertia, a key benefit for quick acceleration
- Mountain bike-style handlebar positions the rider upright, thereby reducing the stress to hands, neck and back often associated with sporty road bikes
- Bar ends help you stand over the pedals to power up steep ascents
- Specs are subject to change
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.
