Colossal 2
Colossal is our pavement-only, all-day road-riding bike.
Colossal's geometry is aggressive, but not as racey as a crit bike, nor slow and stable as a touring bike. This is a bike for pouring on the miles, taking in the scenery, challenging one's self, and making discoveries.
The CroMoly frame and ENVE RD carbon fork combine to provide a fantastic ride.
Disc brakes bring unparalleled braking control whether the roads are wet or dry, because wet pavement shouldn't halt your ride.
This is not a Tour de France-wannabee road bike. Colossal is intended for a far different experience.
The Colossal is for riders that like going fast, but don't believe fast is everything. That dream of riding through the Alps, but recognize that beauty can be found by riding right from their own front door. That appreciate pro racing, but aren't disillusioned enough to believe their bike is keeping them from joining those ranks. That understand a heart rate monitor and power meter will never be as valuable as the discoveries made from turning onto an unknown road, and seeing where it leads.
Colossal. Eat a big breakfast.
