Overview
About this bike
The Search A Sora is all about exploring the unknown. B-roads through the country? Fire roads in the mountains? There's no need to sacrifice your desire when you have the versatility of 32mm-wide tires and a relaxed riding position for all-day comfort. Outfitted with Shimano's solid-performing Sora group, it features a 9-speed drivetrain paired with Tektro mechanical disc brakes that aid control in wet conditions and long, rough descents. The aluminum fork with 15mm thru axle keeps the front end light and stiff, while a chip in the rear dropouts accommodates fenders or racks, further increasing the do-it-all nature of the Search. A flared handlebar ensures comfort on long hauls by reducing strain on the wrists and shoulders, and rattle-free internal cable routing keeps your components working as they should in the muck and grime, giving you the freedom to continue down whatever path you choose.
