Everything about the LXI Flow 3 bike speaks to maximum comfort: the softest suspension fork (that you can lock out too if you want to ride quickly on smooth surfaces), a wide range of easy gears, excellent very predictable and strong brakes, and the best seat and seatpost of the lineup. It really is the king of comfort, and with such an easy riding position, it makes going on a bike ride an absolutely enjoyable experience, as it should be.
FEATURES
- Ultimate comfort design: adjustable stem, high-rise handlebars, quality suspension seatpost, fork, and comfy saddle

- Generous standover and relaxed geometry make on/off bike transitions seamless
- Quality Shimano 1x9 wide-range drivetrain and excellent hydraulic disc brakes make for exceptional durability and minimal maintenance
