Softride produced the Classic R1 bike in 2001 and can be classified as a Road bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $2,599.00.

This bike is equiped with Continental Grand Prix 3000 kevlar tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Mavic Open Pro. Softride equiped this exact model with Shimano Ultegra Dual Pivot brakes, Shimano Ultegra STI Dual Control levers braking system and Shimano Ultegra hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Softride used Carbon fiber composite material for the frame. ITM Pro 260 high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Classic R1 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of ITM Big One Threadless.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Ultegra is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano Ultegra chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Softride, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Ultegra STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
