The Virtue Curve 6 city bike is essentially a perfect design. It is very simple, featuring a six speed system out back, and V-Brakes for firm stopping power. The performance of the Shimano Acera derailleur coupled with the Shimano SL-TX Tourney shifter is impeccable. The shifts are smooth and precise, while the light-action thumb lever responds quickly. The V-Brakes, by Tektro, are the descendants of early mountain racing designs and as such, afford the rider precise and reliable braking.
All-around the design is clean, modern and a pleasure to ride. Despite the retro design notes and included fenders, the modern construction and materials keep weight astonishingly low. The styling of the bike is comprised of a gloss black coat, with alloy components and white tires resulting in a timelessly luxurious finish from tip to tail. We saved the best part for last, which is the price. The Virtue Curve retails for $399.99. That’s right, you can pick up this beauty for less than the cost of some higher-end bike parts. For its class, this bike is the perfect blend of components, performance, and style.
