This Bike Is Perfect For The rider who wants a bike versatile enough for commuting but also fun at the weekends for enjoying the outdoors. If you want a bike that can keep up with your day to day lifestyle, the Raleigh Strada is for you. Key Features 650b wheels offer faster acceleration than 700c wheels. As 650b wheels can support a wider width tyre we’ve been able to fit multi-terrain tyres on our urban bikes. They feature hard centre tread for speedy tarmac riding & a rougher edge shoulder to improve off-road traction. The high volume tyres can run at lower pressures allowing them to depress on uneven ground meaning you’ll feel fewer bumps when riding off-road. Running your tyre at a lower pressure will also improve the grip of your tyres by increasing its contact area with the ground. All of these factors lead to a more comfortable riding experience when taking your urban bike off the beaten track. 21 speed Shimano gearing with EZ fire shifters Selle Royal Shadow saddle
