Over ten years the range expanded beyond commuter bikes to include road, mountain, cyclo-cross, gravel, kids and fat bikes. Get a great deal with this online auction for a mountain bike presented by Property Room on behalf of a law enforcement or public agency client. The Datum comes with 32c tyres, which is a bit closer to the ‘road’ end of the spectrum.
Although this bike can take on the commuting duties or a bit of cycle-touring, it is more suited to lively riding in the woods and on bridleways. With a 2×9 Shimano Sora groupset and mechanical disc brakes, there are notable differences to the higher end Croix de Fer. But these won’t present an impediment to getting out and using the frame for the huge variety of applications it has the capability for. Gravel riding, endurance road riding, cycle-touring, commuting, these are all still possible on this bike – it’s just a more accessible platform to get started with. A rim brake version is available in addition to the disc option and both come with Shimano Ultegra 2×11 groupsets. The maximum tyre size on bike is 28c, typical for rim brake set ups but relatively narrow for a bike with discs.
Some are more race oriented, meaning mudguard and pannier mounts are forgone and the geometry is longer and lower. Others have more of an endurance focus, better suited genesis mountain bike to long rides and have all the mounts you need for light cycle-touring. So many models are offered that it can be hard to choose exactly which bike is best for you.
But there is clearance for up to 38c, so if the conditions require it, this bike is able to handle the rougher stuff. The Fugio is a rowdier bike than the Croix de Fer, more suited to playing around on the trails and using the bumps as a platform to get some air. The dropper seatpost, slacker head angle, shorter chainstays and clearance for tyres up to 50mm wide on 650b wheels are responsible for this more playful handling. These are the dedicated carbon race bikes, as ridden by the (now disbanded) UCI continental team Madison Genesis.
But for races that are solely on roads, this should be more than adequate. As with the Day One, there are mudguards, rear pannier rack, and an internally geared rear hub for all weather dependability. The aero features of more expensive bikes are present, with cables are routed internally and the leading edges of the frame are smoothly rounded.
