Lightweight Alloy Frame with Carbon Fork

The flat handlebars provide:

- Greater comfort on longer rides
- Easy control for new riders
- Reduced strain on the back and shoulders
It's the perfect setup for commuters, recreational riders and anyone looking for a fast yet comfortable everyday bike.
Smooth Shimano CUES 10-Speed Drivetrain
The Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain delivers dependable shifting with a gear range that suits both urban riding and recreational adventures.
Featuring a wide-range 11-40T cassette and a 40T narrow-wide chainring, the drivetrain offers efficient gearing for climbing hills, maintaining speed on flat roads and exploring light gravel paths.
Shimano's CUES platform is also engineered for increased drivetrain durability, making it an excellent choice for riders covering high weekly mileage.

Equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, the SP3 provides reliable stopping power in all weather conditions.
Compared to traditional rim brakes, hydraulic discs offer:
- Stronger braking performance
- Improved control in wet weather
- Better modulation
- Reduced hand fatigue
- Consistent performance on long descents
Whether commuting year-round or enjoying weekend rides, you'll have the confidence to brake smoothly and predictably.
