Raleigh Champanion bike review

Raleigh produced the Champanion bike in 2009 and can be classified as a Tandem bicycle.
Raleigh Tandem Champanion can be found in one single color which is Silver.
This bike is equiped with 26 x 1.95" Kenda K-841A with K-shield tires and Stainless spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex DM21, 36-hole. Raleigh equiped this exact model with Tektro Alloy V-brake brakes, Tektro V-brake levers braking system and Front: Joytech Alloy QR, Rear: Shimano RM30 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Raleigh used Chromoly material for the frame. Comfort riser high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Champanion to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Steel Riser.
For the smoothest biking experience TruVativ 5D Tandem, 28/38/48 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC HG-50 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Raleigh, the whole system is connected to a high reliability SRAM X.4 trigger gear shift levers.
