NEW YORK (BRAIN) — Priority Bicycles, a consumer-direct bike brand that launched with a crowdfunding campaign in 2014, is releasing its second model, the Priority Eight.
The new model offers an aluminum frame, 8-speed internal Shimano hub, a Gates CDN belt drive and dual-piston Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. It comes with alloy fenders, Continental tires and is available in three sizes. The company is taking orders for the new model at $799. The Gates CDN is the company's new lower-priced belt drive, which uses a lower-tension belt and a reinforced composite chainring combined with a steel rear cog.
"The endless requests that we received for this bike had been overwhelming. We couldn't ignore the call," said Priority Bicycles co-founder and CEO David Weiner. "The Priority community received first crack at our limited availability and pre-order pricing, with a small second run now being opened up to the public. With competitive products featuring similar components being sold for well over $1,400, we know we have the best value for a commuter of this caliber that will sell out quickly."
