Racers who require tight cadence steps and double-chainring versatility benefit directly from this setup. The 48/31T chainrings and 11-34T cassette offer fine gear gradations for pacing on rolling courses and open straights. The 40c Vittoria tires deliver traction across mixed terrain while dampening track chatter.
