Once again, REI’s in-house brand shows up at the starting line with serious performance at barely over $1,000.
Another superior 22-speed option, the proven, no-excuses power of the Shimano 105 drivetrain and FSA Omega compact cranks propel Strada forward in our evaluation. Thanks to a 15mm thru axle, handling at speed is elevated for turning – and peloton hijinks – with agility uncommon at this price point. Equipped with solid braking, upgraded tires and rims, Strada tips in at under 22lbs. thanks to a 6061 aluminum frame.
