Day-in, day-out the Tradewind HD keeps trucking. If one were to design a cruiser durability contest, the Tradwind HD would promptly take the cake. Every part (chain included) is rust-resistant, and each component is chosen to go the distance: a sealed bottom bracket, thorn-proof inner tubes, a quality quick release, alloy handlebars, a durable headset. While designed to exceed the needs of the rental market, it's equally at home for anyone hard on gear, because the Tradewind HD keeps on truckin' for more.
