Sturdy, contemporary frame
The Cortina U1 3-speed city bike has a sturdy steel frame. In terms of design, it can best be characterised as a transport bike without a front carrier. As such, it has a modern and cool look you'll want others to notice.
Ideal for use in the city
The U1 offers a great ride with stable handling and great manoeuvrability in busy city traffic. With its 3-speed Shimano hub gears, this city bike will take you over any bridge with ease. And with the tried and tested roller brakes, you'll be able to stop quickly when going down at the other end of the bridge. The lighting provides plenty of light for safe cycling in the dark. And you'll feel good knowing that you can park your U1 safely as the AXA lock prevents it getting stolen.
A low-maintenance choice
The Cortina U1 owes its basic look to the fact that many components are concealed. The lights, for example, are powered by batteries rather than a dynamo. The chain guard is completely closed to prevent dirt getting to the chain. The gears are integrated into the hub. So, in short, your new city bike is low-maintenance and will never let you down.
