The Tempo Sport 8 is the ideal commuter or fun fitness bike. With its lightweight 7005 Alloy frame, high travel suspension front fork and dual disc brakes, you can tackle a wide range of terrain - in a wide range of conditions - without fatigue or discomfort.

The Tempo Sport 8 uses the Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub - offering a high efficiency design that delivers a surprisingly wide gear range in a compact design. The gearing is controlled by the Shimano Alfine 8-speed rapid fire shifter for fast, simple and precise shifting control at any time - while pedaling, coasting or even at a complete stop. Plus, with fully enclosed design, there are no external moving parts to get contaminated or damaged, so your gearing last longer - without adjustments, repairs or maintenance.

If some of your rides take you onto bumpy streets, trails or logging roads, you'll appreciate the Tempo Sport 8's high travel front fork. This suspension fork absorbs the bumps so your arms won't have to. This suspension fork also has a lockout feature that allows you to flip a switch and stop the fork from compressing for getting more efficiency climbing hills. And with its flat bar design, it gives you a more heads-up riding position for improved visibility, safety and comfort.

The Tempo Sport 8 also uses front and rear disc brakes to give you extra stopping power and confidence - especially if the going gets messy. With the disc brake calipers and rotors raised above the road, they minimize contamination from road debris to make your braking more consitent in wet, muddy or snowy conditions.

The Tempo Sport 8 also features the Sussex shaft drive system. The Sussex shaft drive has been in production for 20 years, and this 3rd generation shaft drive is the most efficient and lightest weight shaft drive system on the market. With its fully enclosed design, the shaft drive smoothly and efficiently transfers power from the pedals to the rear wheel - without adjustments or exposure to mud, dirt and other debris that would otherwise contaminate external chains and derailleurs. In turn, the shaft drive stays cleaner to keep grease and mess off your hands and clothes.

The Tempo 8 uses a host of high quality components - all designed to keep the bike simple to operate and simple to maintain. Such as the double wall alloy rims keep the wheels stiff and straight so they don't need to be adjustment as often; the stainless steel spokes to add strength and durability; and the alloy components to resist rust and corrosion. But the Tempo also offers convenience features as well - such as an angle adjustable stem for setting just the right riding position; and a fully adjustable seat with quick release lever for easy adjustment of the seat angle, horizontal position and height.
