Description
Fully equipped means what it says: a carrier for your possessions, mudguards to help keep you dry, lights so you can see and be seen, and a kickstand for parking. But that's just the start with the Editor SLX FE. An 11-speed Shimano Alfine hub, driven by a clean and quiet Gates carbon belt, offers a huge range of gears and practicallly no maintenance. And, with Schwalbe Marathon Green tyres and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, you can slow and stop safely whatever the weather throws at you.
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.
