Description
The Calibre Loxley Road Bike has been designed especially for women from the ground up, using high qualilty components and a unique women's-specific geometry. Calibre's expert designers have developed a frame which ensures total comfort for female riders, with the Loxley using a more upright riding position specifically for casual riders and newcomers to the sport. Lightweight aluminium tubing is used throughout and each join is hand-welded to ensure durability, strength and high quality throughout. The frame also boasts a number of special features to improve performance further. Subtly shaped seatstays boost comfort by dampening bumps and vibrations before they reach the saddle. An oversized downtube provides superb frame stiffness for efficient power transfer and a responsive ride. There is even a rear rack mount, making the bike an option for commuting and light touring. Complementing the frame is a carbon fibre fork which ensures razor-sharp handling and control, quickly and precisely transmitting every micro-adjustment you make into the bike. It also helps keep you fresh on long rides by soaking up annoying road buzz to combat upper-body fatigue while you hold the handlebars. Gearing comes courtesy of Shimano's excellent 8-speed Claris system with quick, smooth derailleurs and ergonomic, easy-to-use STI levers. A quality FSA chainset carries power efficiently from the pedals to the drivetrain with compact 50/34 tooth chainrings offering a wide range of easier gears for conquering hilly terrain. The wheels combine lightweight alloy rims with high quality hubs for efficient high speed performance. A double-wall rim construction is used for extra strength and resilience on rough roads and the semi-aero rim profile cuts through the wind to save you energy and boost your speed. Schwalbe's fast-rolling 23mm Lugano tyres provide excellent grip, comfort and durability for great year-round performance.
