Our thoughts on this bike.
We love this bike, a great commuting and or leisure bike that comes with the benefit of a wider tyre, with factory fitted mudguards, hydraulic disk brakes and a choice of 16 speeds. But it’s successful design, means its popular and it sells out fast…..
What Raleigh Say about this bike:
Designed to take city biking to the next level, the Strada City is built with a double crankset to keep the weight down. With a fast, agile frame and an ultra-sporty riding position, this lightweight bike is the ultimate commuting machine. And for when you’re ready to trade the tarmac for the trail, the 650b wheels help you tackle that tougher terrain, with 47c trail tyres giving you a strong grip on looser ground.
For the days so rainy it feels like you need an arc, full mudguards protect your best jeans as you race through puddles. When you’re faced with a hill that’s steeper than your rent, the 16-speed Shimano gears help you maximise your pedal power, with hydraulic disc brakes giving you exceptional stopping power as you fly back down them.
