Fuji Silhouette 1.1 Disc Women's Flat Bar Road Bike 2017

Fuji Silhouette 1.1 Disc Women's Flat Bar Road Bike 2017. The Fuji Silhouette 1.1 Disc flat bar road bike is your ticket to an extremely comfortable and efficient ride, no matter your destination. It was created to handle rides both big and small, features great styling, Fuji's proprietary lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano 105 components, and a women's specific geometry. The Silhouette's top tube is compact and for very good reasons. While benefits of a compact frame are many, there are a few key bonuses, like the shorter distance to the handlebar when seated, which alleviates neck, back and wrist strain, while increasing your ability to handle the bike with confidence. The shorter seat tube means greater standover height, so when you pull up to a stop sign you can easily step off the bike with plenty of safe clearance between you and the bike. Also, a shorter top tube means you'll be riding more upright. That means you'll get a greater view of the road ahead and any objects around your bike while your ride. The frame itself is made out of lightweight aluminum and the fork is made of both carbon and aluminum, which reduces the bike's weight and helps to smooth out the vibration from the road. You'll quickly notice how easy it is to use the Shimano 11 speed Rapid Fire shifters. Simply push or click them and the drivetrain responds instantaneously. The Tektro hydraulic road disc brakes engage on a set of rotors instead of the wheel rim, preserving the life of your wheels and increasing the bike's stopping power. The Silhouette is outfitted with a pair of Vera Corsa wheels and wide, comfortable Vera Helios tires with burly Phalanx puncture resistance. All of these features rolled up into one bike makes it easy to see why the Silhouette is so popular on weekend rides.
