	The high MetaPhysic bikes are very fast - large wheels roll well and the high centre of gravity makes for excellent visibility on the open road - your head is at about the same level as it would be on a standard diamond-frame road bike, but with a supportive seat instead of craning your neck to see where you’re going. Four specification levels are available - AL, with Shimano Sora gearing, 105 and Tiagra with gearing from those ranges, and CF with SRAM Force/Rival gearing and lighter frameset.
