A durable-but-lightweight aluminum frame forms the foundation for the Fester 2.4, a bike that delivers big-boy performance with big-hit looks. We’ve given the Fester some advanced features, but worked at keeping it easy to ride with simple, 14 speed gearing actuated by twist shifters; powerful, safe direct-pull brakes with proportionately sized levers; and light alloy rims that help reduce pedaling effort. A replaceable derailleur hanger makes the frame more crash-resistant, and a chainring bash guard adds a tough look and safety all at once.
