For the second year in a row, our Novara Transfer bike has won Bicycling Magazine's Editor Choice Award for best commuter bike! Ride on.
- Transfer is all about getting from Point A to Point B, comfortably, confidently, quickly, with everything you need to get the job done right
- Transfer is fully outfitted with rack, fenders, lights and kickstand, for a ride that's hassle-free no matter the weather, time of day or road surface
- Aluminum frame is lightweight and stiff for easy lifting and quick acceleration, yet plenty strong to withstand heavy loads and rough roads
- Shimano internal rear hub is remarkably maintenance-free compared to conventional cassette systems and provides seven smooth-shifting gears
- Using the Nexus shifter is intuitively simple, letting you adjust the ride to meet the challenges of ascents, descents and sprints through traffic
- New for 2007, the bright LP50 headlight is powered by a generator in the front hub; battery-powered Cateye tail light provides rear visibility
- Tektro linear-pull brakes provide comfortable braking and reliable stopping power
- Transfer's rack is ready for cargo, quickly accepting panniers or trunk bag (sold separately)—great for carrying groceries or work attire
- Puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur tires feature reflective sidewalls, sure grip and a fast, smooth ride
- Comfort comes easy with the plush Velo Comfort saddle and grips
- Kalloy Cozy Comfort handlebar and adjustable stem create an upright ride that's easy on the neck and back, and maximizes your view in all directions
- Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—alloy platform pedals accommodate a variety of shoes
- Never appear unannounced; the handlebar-mounted bell sounds your presence loud and clear
- Transfer even includes a kickstand for your parking and storing convenience
