Forge CTS 1000 Road Racing Bike - Graphite Blue (19")

Designed for road performance, the CTS 1000 combines high quality components, creative design and affordability. Forge CTS is a road performance bike that is in a class of its own.

Shimano Sora 24-speed front and rear derailleurs with Shimano Total Integration (STI, integrated shifters within break leavers), Tektro brake levers on top of handle bar, Truvativ triple-crankset, alloy rims and Kenda Kontender 700x25C tires enhance performance while the compact road design frame allows for superior speed and handling. 19" frame stands over 29.7H" fits most riders 5’6" to 5’10". Note: Frame size is determined by measuring the distance from the center of the bottom bracket (the bolt that locks in the crank) to the top of the seat tube.

Stand-over height is determined by measuring the distance from the ground to the top tube. A bike that you ride only on paved surfaces and never take off road should give you a minimum stand-over height clearance of 2", a bike that you ride on unpaved surfaces should give you a minimum of 3" of stand-over height clearance and a bike that you ride off road should give you a minimum of 4" of stand-over height clearance.
