The Motobecane Strada Express 24 is a flat bar road bike built for fast commuting, fitness rides, bike paths, rough roads, and packed gravel. It combines a lightweight 6061 aluminum frame, 700c chromoly utility fork, flat-bar control, 24-speed Shimano/MicroShift shifting, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
ON SALE for $499: Compare at $1299 with FREE 48-state delivery. The Strada Express adds practical commuter value with 700x42c puncture guard tires, reflective sidewalls, double-wall aero-section rims, rear rack mounts, double bottle mounts, and a bento box top tube mount.
Fast like a flat-bar road bike, more comfortable than a traditional drop-bar road bike: the Strada Express 24 is designed as a super commuter for daily rides, fitness riding, neighborhood loops, and light mixed-surface use.
Full 24-speed range: the triple crank and 8-speed cassette give a wide range for flats, hills, and loaded commuting.
Confident stopping power: Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors offer strong, easy braking in mixed weather.
Built for rougher roads: 700x42c Kenda puncture guard tires with reflective sidewalls add comfort, grip, and visibility compared with narrower fitness tires.
Utility ready: the frame and fork include useful mounts for racks, bottles, and top tube storage.
