About CORTE MADERA frame performance

The CORTE MADERA is an aluminum-frame cross bike.

The frame design (geometry) features a slightly higher center of gravity and a longer wheelbase.

This design prioritizes light initial acceleration and stability while riding, making it suitable for city use!

Additionally, the head tube is designed to be long, allowing for an upright riding position and easy steering.

The CORTE MADERA is a model that caters to daily city users ◎

About CORTE MADERA's Parts Configuration

The CORTE MADERA's basic specifications feature Shimano components with 2x8 speeds ◎

While cross bikes commonly feature a 3-speed front gear, the CORTE MADERA employs a 2-speed system.

This is likely due to the increasing number of users who felt that 3-speed front gears were unnecessary for city cross bikes.
※Infrequent use of 3-speed gears could lead to higher maintenance risks from unused parts.

The brakes are hydraulic disc brakes ◎

The 2024 model, which has already been announced, has been minorly upgraded to mechanical disc brakes, so the 2023 model introduced here has higher specifications ◎

The tires are 700x35c, which is slightly wider than typical cross bikes.

A great feature of the CORTE MADERA is that the stand, which is usually sold separately for cross bikes, comes standard ◎

Since buying one separately would cost around 2000-3000 yen, it feels like a bit of a bargain!

CORTE MADERA Riding Performance

In terms of riding performance, it gives a nimble and quick impression.

Although the CORTE MADERA is slightly heavier than average, its frame characteristics allow it to directly convert pedaling force into speed.

Also, with its higher center of gravity, it starts smoothly. The long wheelbase provides stability even at higher speeds, making it an easy-to-handle model.

However, due to its vehicle weight and slightly wider tires, it loses speed more noticeably compared to lighter cross bikes, so it might not be ideal for long distances at high speeds...
