The bike for those who want the ultimate experience in speed and manoeuvrability. Racemodel without compromise exclusively equipped with top of the range components. This bike will make you 100% irretrievable guaranteed for every upright cyclist. One of the fastest bikes and probably the Low racer most sold around the world. The height of the bracket on all post-2007 models is pronounced for accelerations and increase in power uphill, with the cranks far enough from the wheel for your safety (no wheel crossing) and to allow sharp mountain curves. This bike is equally at ease on velodromes as on asphalte commuting. The chain guide of the chain diverting from the front wheel allows easy turning with many features for a daily use or on sinuous routes. Much at ease on extreme long distances,because of the comfortable and aerodynamic seat post, it is the most used bike on Paris Brest Paris. You can easily put this bike in direct drive (chain line without return idlers). The Baron is standard equipped with a powerful disk brake to avoid over heating of the front tube and 20" rim and secure your vertiginous descents with this aerodynamic model. The Baron can be equipped with a 2 x 10 liters bag without carrier for those who want to combine speed and commuting. The quadruble rear ends give the Baron sufficient stiffness of the frame whilst assuring comfort, transferring shocks into the frame and not in the seat as we see on most other unsuspended racers. With its long-lasting alloy frame Barons over a decade old are being seen on many race events, proving the reliabilty and performance of the optima choice of alloy and geometry. If you're looking for a reliable allround ajustable low racer to enjoy many years of aerodynamic speed, buy yourself a Baron!
