There's a good reason that the Nature is lighter than similar models from our competitors. It's all down to the lightweight, double-butted tubes that make up the aluminium frame. Double butting removes material “ and therefore weight “ where it's not needed, while leaving it alone where it's important for strength. Sleek luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points complement the frame's good looks and make it easy for you to upgrade your bike for any purpose. Complex-profile top and down tubes contribute to a frame that's rigid enough for precise, safe steering, but still comfortable on any ride, while cables routed inside the down tube ensure that your gears will continue to be smooth and accurate in the long term. And, as with all our bikes, the Nature has passed every EU and in-house safety test that we could throw at it, meaning that you can enjoy your riding with complete peace of mind.The Nature Pro is proof that a reliable, robust bike doesn't have to be boring “ it can also be huge fun to ride. Built around a high-quality aluminium frame and fitted with a Suntour suspension fork with lockout, it's rugged enough to withstand the rigours of everyday use, so you can concentrate on enjoying the ride. Neat rack and mudguard mounting points are almost invisible and allow a RILink carrier to be fitted, which means you can easily transform your bike into a versatile and elegant load carrier. We fitted powerful, easy-to-use hydraulic disc brakes for the best possible weather-proof stopping power, so you can ride safely even in wet conditions. And, with grippy and fast-rolling Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres and a smooth-shifting, wide-ranging Shimano transmission, you've everything you need to tackle anything from a ride out on quiet country lanes to nipping across town. Add it all up, and it's the ideal machine for weekend and fitness cyclists “ and there's even a trapeze frame option for women who prefer that configuration for easier mounting and dismounting. Just add your spirit of adventure, and you're all set to go.
