COMMUTING
CITY TRANSIT
The Presidio is our dedicated commuting range, designed with low maintenance and adaptability in mind. Disc brakes, puncture resistant tires and high performance belt drives or corrosion-resistant chains are built tough for city streets, while the lightweight aluminum frames feature all of the attachment points and braze-ons that commuters demand.

Commute Platform
Presidio frames are constructed of lightweight 6061 aluminum tubing with internal cable routing, and rack and fender mounts. Series 2 tubing on the Presidio 3 and 2 models add belt drive compatible forged slider dropouts for internally geared hubs.
Our new slider dropouts were created specifically to bring the best
technologies for commute bikes into a clean and tidy package. The
dropouts slide to tension belts and chains, while incorporating flat
mount disc brakes, and a direct mount rear kickstand to support the
bike where weight is centered with gear.
Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all
conditions with minimal maintenance.
Internally geared hubs on the Presidio 3 and 2 package the gearing
into a compact, maintenance-free package.
