MEC Cote Bicycle - Unisex

Gravel grinder, single tracker, asphalt crusher, all-rounder: the Cote legend continues. Freshly tweaked for 2017, the Cote gets a lighter, stronger steel frame that emphasizes stability and versatility so you can ride it to work and then take it out for a weekend tour. Its mechanical disc brakes boost performance and provide consistent braking in less-than-ideal riding conditions. Shimano Tiagra components give the Cote reliable, smooth-shifting glory. Solid and versatile Alex CXD5 wheels are tubeless ready for cyclocross adventures, and come with commute/tour ready 35c tires. To help smooth out gravel roads or rough bike lanes, Shockproof bartape with gel padding prevents your hands from getting numb and keeps the ride feeling smooth.
