Reid Cycles 2016 Falco Advanced
The Falco Advanced is your ideal entry into road riding and racing. It's the perfect platform for epic endurance rides, criterium racing, triathlons or simply getting fit. It features key upgrades including the latest Shimano 105 (5700 Series) gearing, internal cabling, Continental Ultra Sport II tyres and a compact crankset.
Complete Shimano 20-speed drivetrain (compact crankset for a wider range of gears), featuring the latest 105 components.
New lightweight double butted R2 hydroformed alloy frame with smooth weld technology, internal cable routing and semi-integrated headset, paired with an updated carbon fibre fork.
Light, fast Alex wheelset with Continental Ultrasport 2 puncture protected tyres
The 2016 Falco Advanced uses our new flagship R2 double butted alloy road racing frame with internal cable routing and a compact 10-speed Shimano groupset. This gives outstanding performance and reliability at an unbeatable price. The 6061 alloy frame is lightweight, with a balance of vertical compliance and lateral stiffness for excellent on-road handling. The carbon fibre fork lowers weight and further reduces road buzz, ideal for endurance riding.
Shimano 105 derailleurs and shifters give crisp shifting performance. The Shimano Tiagra chain and cassette offer excellent durability without sacrificing performance. The Shimano 565 compact crankset gives a wider range of gearing than a conventional crankset, so you can tackle the hills and headwinds with ease, but still have the top gear necessary to hammer home on the sprints. For a full 105 drivetrain, check out our Falco Elite.
The Alex Rims are tough and light. Laced to Quando quick-release hubs with stainless steel spokes and Continental UltraSport II puncture protected tyres, this wheelset gives you the low rotating mass and excellent durability you need to smash out some serious kilometres. If you need even more speed, ask about the Mavic Aksium wheelset upgrade.
Great bike at a great price, I've got the 2014 model of this bike and its still going strong after 2.5 years.
