Park City Hill - Hiking In Park City Utah

Novara Randonee Touring Bike

Touring wine country, rolling down the coast or cruising past endless fields of corn, our Novara Randonee® is built for comfort over the long haul. Load it up! Classic touring frame accommodates fore and aft racks and fenders—rear rack provided (front rack and fenders sold separately). Chromoly frame is double butted for added strength under heavy loads; tubes are thick at the ends, narrowing once toward the center. Long wheelbase and low center of gravity optimize stability and handling under heavy loads and high speeds. Shimano touring gruppo provides smooth shifting through a gear range designed to get bike, rider and equipment up and over mountain passes. Lightweight Mavic A319S rims and puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur tires have the durability needed to log long miles. Keep the cadence you want—27 speeds let you adjust for the smallest changes in wind and terrain. Shimano brake levers and Tektro brakes provide reliable stopping power; cantilever configuration allows ample room for fenders front and back. Fizik Nisene saddle is anatomically contoured and padded for support and comfort during long days on the road. No fancy shoes required—platform pedals with toe clips accommodate many casual shoes (but we suggest supportive cycling shoes for long rides). And just to make sure we thought of your every need, Randonee includes a spare spoke mounted on a seatstay. Remember, REI also sells all the accessories—ultralight tents, sleeping bags, stoves— you require for an epic cycling adventure. Specs are subject to change.
