About the Uptown 8 - LS

Two-time winner of Bicycling Magazine's Editors’ Choice for “Best Commuter bike,” the Uptown 8 offers an extra smooth ride thanks to the super-light Shimano Nexus Premium "red band" 8-speed hub with extra-wide gear range. Shifting gears is amazingly easy with the Nexus twist-grip shifter. The suspension seatpost and supple fork help guide you over the bumps. LED lighting front and rear will provide you years of trouble-free service - powered by the Shimano front hub dynamo - and the standlight feature keeps them on even at stoplights. Quality materials and workmanship throughout will give your award-winning Uptown 8 years of smooth-riding performance.
