Vielo, a British bicycle company that is dedicated to innovation, design and production in the space of gravel and road bikes for both on-road and trail riding, has teamed up with none other than Belgium-based Classified in order to create a high-performance road bike that is designed for the demands and tribulations of modern road cycling.
The 'R+1 Alto' is a road bike that is said to be significantly more stuff across its lateral axis compared to similar bikes equipped with front derailleurs, which makes for added stability and streamlining. Indeed this particular road bike makes of Classified's Powershift hub technology, which takes the place of a typical front derailleur and crankset mechanism.
This high-performance road bike is available for purchase for a price in the region of $8,687.
