With their Valparola entry-level racing bike Serious shows that true racer virtues are possible even without a four-figure budget. The name comes from the picturesque Valparola Pass (2192 m) in the Italian Dolomites. Thanks to its high-quality componentry and well-balanced riding characteristics racing bike beginners can look forward to high-mountain excursions with the Serious Valparola.
A modern aluminium frame with carbon fork comes already equipped with reliable components in the Comp version. A 16-speed Shimano system guarantees precise gear changes with minimal effort, whilst its Shimano rim brakes slow the Valparola on the downhill safely and easily.
With its light and fast-rolling aluminium wheels, riding in your road group becomes an absolute joy. The sporty-comfortable seating position of this entry-level racer allows for upping the tempo as well as lasting the distance.
