Overview
The Midnight Special is an endurance road bike designed to provide comfort and speed on those all-day rides that extend well beyond fresh pavement.
It excels on pot-holed, deteriorating pavement and the occasional long stretch of gravel. The Midnight Special’s 700c tires eat up road chatter and absorb all the bumps in the road for a much more comfortable ride.
