Haanjo Comp 105 Complete Road Bike - 2016

The 2016 Diamondback Haanjo Comp 105 Complete Road Bike brings a race-worthy drivetrain, disc brake power, and high-quality wheels right to your garage as a versatile addition to your cycling stable. With geometry built for all-day comfort and solid handling on a wide variety of terrain, this bike is right at home hitting the local limestone trail, testing out a cyclocross course, or hopping down the street for a dozen bagels. Its frame and fork are responsive to efforts on the road, and its tires and geometry give full confidence on everything from gravel and grass to fast singletrack or washboard surfaces.

The secret to the Haanjo's flexibility begins with its Endurance frame — the one you'll see on Diamondback road bikes designed to do 100 miles or more in a day — because its 6061-T6 alloy construction is light with a smooth, efficient ride. Its geometry tends toward the long and comfortable end of the spectrum, which keeps you more upright and doesn't handle like a twitchy racing frame. The tapered head tube also contributes to the Haanjo's easy handling while reducing front end flex during hard efforts.

The bike also incorporates myriad small details that recommend it for use beyond just recreation. For example, the top tube of the frame is flattened a bit, which makes the bike easier to shoulder when traversing stairs in the middle of your favorite commute shortcut. It also benefits from the certainty of mechanical disc brakes for extra stopping power when loaded with touring gear. Finally, touches like the full carbon fork, Shimano 105 drivetrain, and HED Tomcat rims mean this bike isn't just made for grinding gravel or getting groceries — it's a bike that can also show up for cycling events or 'cross.
