We affectionately call it the Budget Buzz; Novara Buzz V is an urban commuter and campus cruiser that won't curb your cash flow.
- Sturdy chromoly frame utilizes mountain bike geometry for a heads-up ride that cruises up and down city hills
- Chromoly straight blade fork with tapered legs takes the edge off of the roughest urban roads
- Tektro brakes with linear spring design confidently stop your bike when you need them to, especially important on busy streets and at intersections
- SRAM 3.0 shift levers and rear derailleur can take a beating and keep on shifting mile after mile, smooth or rough terrain
- Truvativ crank and bottom bracket deliver solid performance, whether you're grinding a steep hill or drafting a bus
- Features puncture-resistant Kenda K-841 tires mounted on lightweight, double-wall Alex Ace 24 rims, for speed and durability
- Allen bolt skewers help to prevent wheel theft while you are away from your Buzz
- Kalloy ALU riser handlebar offers comfortable positioning and enhances your ability to stay on top of traffic changes
- Velo BUZZ saddle provides padded support and comfort
- Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—BMX-style platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes
- NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
