Looking for the speed of a road bike with the strength and versatility of an MTB? The Zaskar Urban Machine is your answer. The legendary Zaskar MTB chassis combined with a tough, 8-speed drivetrain delivers a fast, stylish, great handling bike that's a piece of cake to maintain -- exactly what you need for urban riding. Upright yet aggressive rider stance and a low stand-over height make quick dismounts a breeze when you're really truckin'. Couple this with the ability to turn this bike into a dirt-worthy machine, just by changing the tires and you'll have a ride that'll take you just about anywhere!
