The Pistola is our weapon of choice for
long road rides where all-day comfort is
a requisite.
Crafted of True Temper OX Platinum steel
tubing, the Pistola frame is paired with an
Alpha Q CS10 fork. Our goal is to provide
a smooth and efficient ride with the appropriate
levels of stiffness and comfort.
Grab some energy food, fill up those water bottles,
and don’t forget the sunscreen because the next
ride is going to be a long one.
Pistola. Weapon of mas satisfaction.
