Description
Decked out with high-end parts and performance oriented geometry, the Silhouette is a well-priced urban ride that's comparable to the MEC Midtown. It's designed to be your daily ride and to endure high mileage, construction zones, and debris in the bike lane. Outfit it with a rack and panniers and you’ve got yourself a super eco-vehicle for groceries, cruising to the gym, and getting to your day job.
- Lightweight, aluminum frame.
- Lower standover height of the women’s frame is easier for mounting, dismounting or waiting out extended stop lights.
- 700 x 32mm tires are built for rolling on roads and dirt roads or pathways or light trail use.
- Hydraulic disc brakes provide good stopping power, even in wet weather.
- Wide-range gearing features Shimano Alivio front derailleur and Shimano Deore Shadow rear derailleur.
- Shimano Acera 26-36-48T triple crank and 9-speed 11-32T cassette provides options for general city riding.
- Upright seated position for visibility in traffic.
- MEC Ergo grips reduce pressure on palms and offer good weight distribution.
- MEC Trekking pedals can be fitted with toeclips and straps.
- Shimano Alivio components.
- Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement. You can bring your bike to any MEC bike shop for free adjustments and minor maintenance for a year after purchase.
- MEC bikes are designed in Canada. Everything from the frames to the graphics was developed at the MEC Head Office in Vancouver, BC.
