With your trusty Speed TR, there isn’t a back alley that can’t be explored. It’s a fullfeatured touring bike that packs in seconds into a suitcase for convenient travel. The robust 4130 chromoly steel frame and custom Tour racks can be loaded with luggage. High-volume Schwalbe Big Apple tyres provide cushy comfort on even the worst roads.
