The Larkspur 1 is a comfortable, cruisy, mixte-inspired bike that delivers big doses of fun. It’s built around a tough steel frame and fork that’s not scared of rough paths or pub crawls. The hydraulic disc brakes, 1x drivetrain, and Vee Tire wide knobby tires on 27.5-inch wheels are borrowed from mountain bikes and add to the Larkspur’s go-anywhere capability.
Our extensive portfolio boasts more than 20 iconic premium bicycle brands, including Gazelle, Cannondale, Kalkhoff, Schwinn, Caloi, Cervélo, Urban Arrow, FOCUS, Santa Cruz, GT, Veloretti, Juliana and Union. We serve customers around the globe – from the Netherlands to Australia, Germany and Brazil, and from the US to Canada, China and the UK. The amount you can expect to receive in store credit when trading in your bike with a dealer.
Without a front fork suspension, this isn’t really a bike for rough trails, but the thick tires provide ample bounce and shock absorption to protect smaller riders on everyday rides. If you’re looking for a fat bike on a budget, the Mongoose Dolomite is an affordable entry-level option with a strong reputation. It delivers decent downhill speed and maneuvering on the trails, especially considering its relatively unforgiving steel frame, and has impressive breaking capabilities.
To best maintain the performance and durability of your product under normal use, FOX recommends that you have regular fork and shock maintenance performed according to the service intervals. Most people will probably use it as a townie, and it’s great at that, too. Its mongoose dirt bike step-through frame lets you rest at stoplights with your feet on the ground. The battery range is adequate, falling somewhere between 22 and 44 miles, but the company offers a portable solar ebike charger, which will allow you to charge up when you’re off the grid.
Too many options can be overwhelming — we’ve simplified it for you with curated designs you’re sure to fall in love with. Pick an ultra-premium paint scheme, then cherry-pick your favorite components. Our master painters and mechanics will bring your dream to life right here at our headquarters in Waterloo, WI.
You can rectify some of those issues by getting the step-thru version, but it also isn’t compatible with every rack. More generally, I love Rad Power bikes because of the brand’s vast array of first-party accessories and upgrades that fit its bikes like a glove, unlike most third-party gear that never seems to fit quite right. You can pick and choose which add-ons will best suit your lifestyle, from lighting and locks to carrying options for cargo, passengers, or pets.
Beside the fact that we’re hearing rumours of major brands having trouble keeping the tire on the rim during ‘elite level’ corner testing, we still like the idea of tubeless race bikes. Getting rid of that rotational weight has got to be a major advantage! The rims will also be available with a basalt braking surface for the shrinking group of riders who still like V-Brakes. The retail version of the Gate8, 4Sixty rims are still a few months away, plenty of time to start saving … we hear the Zolder Worlds may be the official unveiling. Race bikes feature 20-inch wheels on all models, but the components and frame are sized dependent on age and height.
