Plug-in hybrids and electric cars might be getting all the green press, but when it comes to energy efficiency and reducing your
carbon footprint, the bicycle still reigns supreme. Our solution? Reduce car use, and cycle often.
The Commuter series has something for everyone who has places to go. Go with the flagship Commuter 4 if you need 16-speed
efficiency to overcome distance and terrain, want the nighttime security of a generator headlamp and the convenience of that
snazzy rear rack and fenders. Go basic, with Commuter 1s minimalist approach to getting there, or choose something in between.
All our Commuters use internally geared Shimano hubs, for simple operation thats as maintenance-free as they come, with big,
700 x 32c smooth-rolling tires, integrated pant guards and fenders so youll arrive comfortably, clean and ready to go.

Features
- Features /Benefits
- Commuter’s no-nonsense aluminum frame is lightweight & durable and available in 7 sizes for the best possible fit, all contributing to a more comfortable and safer ride
- Our aluminum, straight-bladed & tapered unicrown fork is significantly lighter than a suspension fork, improving pedaling performance and maneuverability
- The classic swept-back, city-bike style handlebar with 43 degree back sweep, 66m rise and 595mm width puts hands & wrists in a comfortable, natural palms-in position
- Satori’s long quilled, 3D-forged angle-adjustable stem offers a great looking, comfortable, upright ride position that’s easy on neck & wrists
- Shimano’s M416 disc brakes are lighter and more compact than last year’s M415 brakes and mate perfectly with our chainstay disc mount
- The Shimano Alfine Inter-8 speed rear hub shifts lightly in close increments over a huge gear ratio range and is labyrinth sealed for extra-low maintenance
- Shimano’s Alfine Dynamo front hub has polished bearing races for smooth wheel rolling and low drag current generation
- KMC’s iLight with hi-intensity LED lamp is powered by the Dynamo hub but remains lit when stopped at traffic lights, and offers an auto-on feature that operates only at night.
- Our polycarbonate fenders are exceptionally lightweight and protects both rider and bike from rain water sloughing off spinning wheels
- Weinmann ZAC 2000 double wall rims are stronger, lighter and longer lasting than standard single wall rims
- Smooth-rolling, Vittoria Adventure Touring 700 x 32c tires hold more air volume & are more comfortable to ride than smaller width 23 - 28C road tires, and feature a 3M reflective stripe -- much more visible at night than standard wheel reflectors and a puncture resistant casing
- Our super plush saddle features memory foam padding for optimum support with maximum comfort. The “nap” of the distressed leather finish offers a good “grip” for the saddle top to prevent slipping, while still allowing the thighs to slide freely against the saddle sides for an easier and more comfortable ride
- Telescoping suspension seat post with 45mm of MDU elastomer-damped travel is lighter than coil-spring types
