FeaturesThe Explorer's frame features formed top & down tubes & S-bend seatstays for good looks and increased strength. The Explorer 1's hi-tensile steel frame, while heavier than more expensive aluminum, rides smoother & more comfortably than aluminum thanks to the natural shock damping qualities of steel. Our sloping double-diamond frame design with extra long head tube in 4 sizes assures the best possible customer fit for greater comfort, better handling & an all-around safer ride. Our step-through version is exceptionally easy to mount thanks to the superlow position of the S-bent top tube. No more swinging a leg over the rear wheel, or pulling a knee up to the chest to step over the top tube to mount a bike. The Explorer's suspension fork offers over 2" of bump-eating, coil sprung suspension with alloy crown, stout 28mm stanchions and mini-boots to protect sliders Our smooth-rolling 26 x 1.95" Sport Comfort tires are more comfortable to ride around town than full knobby mountain bike tires. Explorer 1 features a 21-speed SRAM 3.0 twist-shifting drivetrain with tripledringed SR XCC 48/38/28 crankset, Shimano Altus front derailleur & 14-34 Mega-Range freewheel, for easy hill climbing and controlled pedaling descents. A near all-alloy parts list -- alloy suspension seat post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy seat post clamp, alloy hubs, alloy rims, alloy brakes & alloy brake levers -- reduces weight, adds value and is rust-proof. Tektro's Tenera brake levers offer slip-resistant, shock-absorbing inserts on the finger contact points for more secure, comfortable braking Our super plush saddle features high-density polyurethane padding for optimum support with maximum comfort. The slip-resistant suede-type top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs help soak up high resonant road vibrations. Offered in gender specific sizes. With an inch of coil-sprung telescoping travel, the Explorer's suspension seatpost helps to smooth out the road and trail. Our long quilled, angle-adjustable stem and 3" rise handlebars offer a supremely comfortable, upright ride position that's easy on neck & wrists. The rubber-like inserts on the pedals are actually slip-resistant, offering some shock-absorption as well, for a safer, more secure ride.
