Enjoy everyday reliability with limited edition colors

Same performance, with a slightly special look

What has arrived this time are the limited edition colors of the MISTRAL ALEX, released as the 2026 model.

The basic frame design and component configuration are the same as previous MISTRAL ALEX models. This means it's a model where the ride and ease of handling remain unchanged, with only the coloring being a special specification.

Two-tone and gradient colors have been added. With a look that previous MISTRAL ALEX models didn't have, it's a classic model that allows you to stand out from the crowd.

Aluminum frame with an excellent balance of lightness and rigidity

The frame is made of hydroformed aluminum, offering a good balance of lightness and rigidity, making starts and stops in the city smooth. The handling is neutral, making it easy for even beginners to handle.

The adoption of an integrated headset ensures front-end rigidity and stability. It's a well-balanced hybrid bike, perfect for everything from daily commutes to slightly longer rides.

Easy-to-handle geometry design perfect for city riding

Furthermore, the MISTRAL ALEX's frame geometry is designed with ease of handling in mind.

The head tube is set slightly longer, and the steerer tube also has ample room in its design.

This results in an upright riding position where the upper body naturally rises, making it easy for first-time hybrid bike riders to start riding comfortably.

Another advantage of this position is that it allows for an elevated line of sight, making it easier to check surroundings safely in the city. It is a very well-balanced design for a hybrid bike intended for daily use.

On the other hand, the chainstay is set slightly shorter, and the center of gravity is adjusted for easy handling in urban areas.

The appeal lies in its nimble ride, characteristic of a hybrid bike, which allows for smooth starts and brisk acceleration even in city areas with many traffic lights.

About the main specifications

Reliable configuration unified with SHIMANO components

A major feature of the MISTRAL ALEX is that its main components, such as shifters, brakes, and hubs, are unified with SHIMANO parts.

The component configuration is a widely praised 3x8 speed specification. With a wide range of gear choices, it's a well-balanced setup that can handle everything from flat city streets to slight inclines without strain.

While this is a standard specification for hybrid bikes, the MISTRAL ALEX goes a step further by unifying not only the derailleurs but also the brake bodies, cranks, and wheel hubs with SHIMANO components.

For a bicycle used daily, ease of repair and maintenance is a concern. SHIMANO parts are known for their high durability and resistance to problems, which is a major advantage for long-term, worry-free use.

Easy-to-use component configuration designed for daily use

The saddle is a relatively thick, cushioned type, even for a hybrid bike. This design ensures comfort and prevents soreness during daily commutes or school travel.

The bike weighs approximately 11.77kg (actual measurement for 480 size). While not designed solely for lightness, it boasts a robust and durable construction, making it a well-balanced hybrid bike for everyday use.

The MISTRAL ALEX can be said to be an excellent choice for those who want to "use it for a long time with peace of mind and as little hassle as possible."

Who is this recommended for?

For those who prioritize performance but don't want to compromise on aesthetics.

The inner workings are the reliable MISTRAL ALEX you know. Precisely because of that, this limited edition color offers the joy of "choosing by color."

It's an easy-to-handle bike for first-time sports bike owners, suitable for a wide range of uses including commuting, school, city riding, and fitness. To that, the special feel unique to a limited edition color has been added.

This model is perfect for those who want a classic hybrid bike but also want to enjoy a slightly different aesthetic.

This configuration is quite reassuring if you plan to ride it for a long time.

The biggest appeal of the MISTRAL ALEX is that its main components are consistently SHIMANO.

While SHIMANO doesn't necessarily make it faster, the reduced likelihood of problems in everyday use and the peace of mind regarding maintenance make a significant difference.

Particularly noteworthy are the wheel hubs. While often overlooked in hybrid bikes, they are crucial components that significantly impact riding performance.

With hybrid bikes in the same price range, it's not uncommon for hub rotation performance to degrade when changing tires, leading to situations where "the tires are new, but the ride feels heavy..."

In this regard, the MISTRAL ALEX features SHIMANO wheel hubs, making it easier to maintain smooth rotation performance even after tire changes. This characteristic means that the quality of the ride is less likely to degrade over long-term use.

For those who want to "avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible" and "use it safely for a long time after purchase," this component configuration offers a significant advantage.
