Burley Design Cooperative Hudson Road Bike

5/5 (1 Reviews)


Product Description

Hudson frames was developed for comfort and reliable handling over long distances. The frame and fork are a more relaxed fit than our race bikes, and the custom True Temper OX Platinum tubing absorbs the bumps and shakes of the road, yet are stout enough to handle the loads of unsupported touring.

Strengths:    Hefty build, great components, touring geometry.

Weaknesses:    This is not a road racing bike, it is heavy. When new, the bike was pricey. Burley is no longer making any bicycles. This was the last Hudson off the line.

Bottom Line:   
This is a touring bike that will go anywhere. It weighs just under 30# with seat, pedals, rear rack, and speedo. Everything on the bike is first class and sturdy. I have put road touring tires on the bike but there is a lot of room for wide tires.
