Versatility is at the core of the CGR range and this aluminium model certainly ticks all of the boxes. The endurance (relaxed riding position) geometry of the CGR Alloy makes this bike comfortable, composed, responsive and ready for any ride.
We liked the relaxed “endurance” riding position and our test bike, fitted with the excellent Shimano 105 groupset, was light enough to easily keep pace with clubmates on Sunday runs.
Engage adventure mode. 650b wheels, wider multi surface tyres, simple 1x groupset and mounts for luggage. The Adventure CGR Alloy is ready and raring to go off the beaten track.
Equally at home on the road with 700c wheels the CGR Alloy is ideal for a sportive or ride out with friends. A comfortable mile-eater that can outclass most.

Due to the many different systems people use we do not supply pedals with bikes but you can find a great array of pedals here.
Below 30 km/h i don't really feel any difference in the pedaling effort, compared to the 25mm tires on my roadbike.
Sure, it's not that fast over 30 km/h, but that's ok, as on the sections with lousy tarmac i can go faster than with the road bike.
Also, the position is more comfortable.
So the bottom line is i really like the bike.
Also, the support guys are very nice.
