Summer apparel for longer days, hotter rides—gear up for peak performance
From the start, the goal for the Strada was aerodynamics and comfort. While pushing the limits of aerodynamics and comfort, the Strada has two clearly distinct zones:
Speed zone: the front half of the bike, with its deep yet narrow headtube, wrap-around downtube and bladed fork.
Comfort zone: the curved seattube, slender seatstays and long exposed seatpost provide comfort while also helping aerodynamics.
Tire Optimization:Tires provide more compliance than any other part of the bike. Wider tires are better at reducing shocks from cracks, curbs, cobbles and potholes, They even have lower rolling resistance, because their shorter contact patch requires less bending by the casing.
In addition, wide tires reduce fatigue caused by high-frequency road buzz. But aerodynamics are also important on such rides, and the Strada remains the first aero bike engineered around wide tires (just like the Discus wheel range is engineered specifically around wider tires). Finally, you can be fast and comfortable all day - every day
