Pinnacle Laterite 1 Road Bike 2020

Features and details that have given the Pinnacle Dolomite its coveted and award-winning name can be found all over the Laterite.

The design, which is ideal for the UK conditions see's all the cabling hidden in the frame out of harm's way.

A threaded bottom bracket means easy maintenance and mudguard fittings mean dry and clean kit all year round. Combined with performance enhancing features including a carbon bladed fork and low overall weight which the Laterite punches well above. Comfort is not forgotten with an ergonomic handlebar shape, thick comfort bar tape and geometry that is also borrowed from its sibling to give a balanced riding position, somewhere between out and out race and up right sportive.Looking for some performance but on a budget.

Maybe your first introduction to road bikes, it could be an upgrade, or just a winter bike for those chilly mornings. Look no further than the Laterite 3, at under 10kg it has it all with a stiff 24mm axle chainset and the excellent Shimano 105 11 speed groupset. Finished off with high quality rubber from Schwalbe will all help get you down the road pretty quickly.Customer ReviewGreat first bike ? ? ? ? ?
