Aboard Wheeler's «Pro 79», you'll enjoy two things at the same time: The sights on the landscape and the flawless function of the latest top-of-the-drawer componentry. But let's start with the appealing aluminum frame, featuring double-butted tubes and neat details like the machined Wheeler-logo on the seatstay bridge. As with its more race-oriented brethren, Marzocchi's «MZ Race» suspension fork on the «Pro 79» can be locked-out by actuating a handlebar button. Thanks to the «DualControl»-levers, you are always ready to both brake and shift. Like many other components, they stem from Shimano's XT-groupset, including the hydraulic discbrakes. Wheeler's own, attractive wheelset and a choice of parts from Ritchey's «Pro»-series would not look bad on a race-bike either. With one small, but decisive advantage: On the «Pro 79» you'll conquer the same terrain in a much more relaxed way.
SHIMANO'S PROVEN «SPD» SYSTEM PEDALS SAVE A LOT OF ENERGY ON LONG RIDES, AS THE FIXED CONNECTION BETWEEN SHOE AND PEDAL IS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
THANKS TO THE STEM WITH ITS INNOVATIVE ATS-SYSTEM, YOU CAN FINE-TUNE THE HANDLEBAR'S HEIGHT WITHOUT HAVING TO FIDDLE WITH SPACERS.
