Description
Whatever the reason for your journey across town, you want a bike that'll make the trip as quick and easy as possible. The Editor Race FE's full equipment package – including lights, mudguards, luggage carrier and kickstand – means it's ready for all weathers and any eventuality. Its practically maintenance-free Gates carbon belt drive and 8-speed Shimano hub gears are ready to go whenever you are. And, with grippy Schwalbe Marathon Green tyres and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, you'll always be in full control.
Frame description
Scratch beneath the surface of its familiar appearance, and you'll find there's more to the Editor FE's trapeze frame than meets the eye. Take the eccentric bottom bracket and split dropout – they're there to accommodate the super-convenient, easy-to-live-with belt drive. You'll have spotted the included mudguards, luggage carrier, kickstand and lighting set. What you can't see is the double-butted tubing, but you'll appreciate its light weight and lively ride feel. And the rigid fork completes the package.
