Description
The Arden 5C is an easy-going women’s road bike that’s totally down with chill-pace Sunday spins but also up to the challenge when the ride turns a bit “spirited.” With a slightly more relaxed riding position than a full-on race bike, the Arden 5C balances speed and comfort so you can ride strong all day long.
The meticulously engineered seat stays keep the bike’s ride supple, while front and rear thru-axles enhance steering precision. Wide 28c tires provide more stability and bump absorption than traditional skinny road tires. They’re mounted on durable HED Flanders C2+ wheels. And you can count on the Shimano 105 groupset to deliver reliable performance year after year. Ride farther, ride faster on the Arden 5C.
