The Alare features a more upright and relaxed riding position that is easy on the back and neck for long days in the saddle. Though not a “race” bike, the handling is still very precise and predictable- a Masi hallmark. Thanks to the shorter top tube, taller head tube and slightly longer wheelbase, this bike is as comfortable and nimble as it is beautiful- and that’s saying a lot. The compact crankset provides excellent climbing and sprinting gears with a more streamlined and lightweight drivetrain and the bar-top brake levers add a level of safety when riding on the tops of the bars. It’s the ideal way to begin a long-term relationship with the road.
