Fore CR2 2011

OVERVIEW

Limited Sizing available.

Take your riding to the next level with the Foré CR2 full carbon road bike, built to be extremely durable and responsive. Feel the adrenalin rush as it accelerates smoothly and corners aggressively. Great for cross-country riding, a triathlon, and even a race.

Start with a proprietary Fezzari Racing Design Xr4 monocoque carbon frame that was recently tested as one of the most durable frames on the market.

All this translates into exhilaration when you’re climbing – knowing that you’re ascending more efficiently – and confidence on the downhill when you take that corner at high speeds. Our proprietrary frame painting process give one of the best looking finishes available.

You get 5 main upgrades over the CR1:

1. Upgraded Shifters – you go one step up on Shimano’s shifters to Shimano Ultegra shifters rather than Shimano 105. They will shift smoother and are a lighter. The Ultegra brake levers also have reach adjust for riders with smaller hands.
2. Upgraded Front Derailleur – from Shimano 105 to Shimano Ultegra, which gives you better front shifting and smoother trim tab shifting (when you push in half-way on the shifters, the derailleur stays on the same chainring but moves over a half-step to allow you to use all gears on the rear cassette without having the chain rub).
3. Upgraded Brakes – from Shimano 105 to Shimano Ultegra, which are lighter and offer smoother braking with less effort with the new cam lever system.
4. Upgraded Wheelset – from Alex AT-400 to Shimano RS-10, which are lighter and have bladed spokes for better aerodynamics.
5. Upgraded Crankset – from the FSA Gossamer to the FSA Gossamer Pro, which has full CNC machined chainrings which are lighter.

Who will want this bike? If you’ve been biking and plan to get into it more, and you want to get something that will grow with you as you grow in the sport (but you’re not willing to pay the price of a CR3 or CR5), then this is the bike for you. It takes you into the full Shimano Ultegra and carbon bike category, and you’ll have the confidence that you can ride with anyone, anytime.
