The ideal choice for commuter and tourer alike. 14-gear Rohloff hub for smooth, almost unnoticeable shifting and much lower maintenance.
USAGE
You can now spec the Amazon with the award winning enclosed 14-gear Rohloff hub for smooth, almost unnoticeable shifting. Practically bullet proof, it means you can do away with the rear mech and cassette thus reducing maintenance – handy if your adventures take you hundreds of miles from the nearest repair shop! The Amazon Rohloff’s drop-out and cable guides differ from the standard bike and the decals are silver instead of blue.
DESIGN
The geometry of the Amazon has been designed to provide day-long comfort and stability under load, whilst still offering rewarding handling for a faster ride. The Amazon is our touring/upright road and Audax frame that can be configured in a multitude of variations to meet your performance and riding criteria. Complete rack and fender braze-ons, with ample tyre clearance allows you to use and attach anything that your riding requires. The frame is cantilever and V-brake compatible as well as having three sets of water bottle bosses.
