Pinnacle Laterite 1 Women's Road Bike

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. This Laterite road bike is a high-performance tarmac machine on a budget.

It would make an ideal first introduction to riding on the road, an upgrade from a hybrid, or just a winter bike for those chilly mornings. If that sounds like you, look no further.
