ANCHOR RE8 105 | An Endurance Bike Balancing Comfort and Propulsion
Surprisingly tireless, yet still makes good progress. An endurance road bike that lets you naturally enjoy long rides.
The ANCHOR endurance road bike "RE8" was developed to comfortably enjoy long rides and touring. The RE8 105 allows riders to experience its highly refined performance at a more accessible price point.
The PROFORMAT-designed frame, with its moderately suppressed rigidity, strikes an exquisite balance: it's less fatiguing over long distances, yet it still pushes forward firmly when you pedal. Coupled with the reassuring grip of 32C EXTENZA R2X tires, this bike is designed for natural, continuous riding regardless of the road surface.
Furthermore, equipped with mechanical SHIMANO 105 (2x12 speed), it achieves both high shifting performance and ease of maintenance. With a complete bike weight of 8.9kg, it's a lightweight package that can accommodate everything from a first sports bike to serious long-distance riding.
