The bike is built around a double-butted A2-SL aluminum frame paired with "Wave" seatstays that diffuse road vibrations for a smoother ride. A C5 carbon fork further enhances comfort by absorbing front-end chatter. Equipped with a reliable Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain and wider 30c tires, the Sportif 2.1 is the perfect entry-to-mid-level machine for cyclists looking to build their mileage without sacrificing comfort.
