The Rocky Mountain Metropolis merges the latest in hydro-formed tubing with the latest internal drivetrain technology from Shimano for the ultimate in street cred. Lightweight butted tubing gives this frame lively handling—but it also has a full complement of rack mounts for hauling any load. On whatever urban adventure you choose, the Metropolis’s Alfine drivetrain eliminates the need for messy derailleurs and keeps your clothes clean. A road warrior commanding respect in urban environments, the Metropolis is made to conquer traffic and still hold its own when the job gets hectic.

• Alfine 8spd work-horse internal geared hub for stump-pulling torque and traffic-light sprints
• Mechanical disc brakes for consistent, powerful braking in the most adverse weather conditions.
• Rear rack mounts and fork mounts for carrying all your loads
• Convex-Curve-Comfort seatstays take the edge off for all-day riding comfort
• Rocky Mountain FORM tubing is triple-butted for strength, low weight and rider comfort

Bottom Line:

Haul more than just ass.
