The Weekender Archer is an adaptable commuter and light tourer. Building the bike with our Archer handlebars allows for a riding position that is both comfortable for easy rides and stable for fast ones.

The high-quality, butted, chromoly frame is paired with practical and durable components. SRAM provides the 1×9 drive-train, and its simple up-or-down, one-lever shifting provides an enormous range of gears that has been paired with a 42-T Narrow Wide chainring.

The Avid disc brakes are mated to our own Fairdale Linear cables (by Odyssey) for powerful all-weather braking. Front and rear fender/rack mounts allow you to customize the bike for many different uses.

The Weekender’s frame and fork allows for a lot of tire clearance, and you’ll find Continental 700c tires on the M, L and XL sizes and Maxxis 650b tires on the XS and S. The tires are wide enough to soak up bumps, without feeling slow.

*Weekender Archers are now shipping with new Archer V3 bars. This design has less backsweep for greater comfort when pedaling out of the saddle during a climb.
