About this item

  • QUALITY CYCLING PRODUCTS SINCE 1985: Our Italian designed cycling shoes, bicycle, and cycling products have made riders look like pros since '85. But we're more than just fancy gear, we're a community. Our cycling-crazed customer service team in Denver can help with any questions or concerns. Plus, our Lifetime Warranty Replacement Promise means you can put our gear to the test with unrelenting confidence. We hope that you will Join The Ride, for fun, fitness, and community.
  • POWERFUL PEFORMANCE & SPEED: The Forcella is a top-performing bike that's not just for beginners. Starting cycling can be intimidating, but we believe that new riders deserve bikes that deliver affordable performance without compromising on quality. We recommend the Forcella for new riders who are serious about their cycling goals. Unlike other so-called "beginner bikes" that are quickly outgrown, the Forcella comes packed with high-quality components, like a carbon fork, found on high end bikes
  • READY TO TAKE YOUR RIDING TO THE NEXT LEVEL? Look no further than the Foreclla – the bike that's built to deliver the power, performance, and speed you need to conquer your first century ride or tackle those challenging hilly routes. Equipped with a top-notch 3x8 Shimano Claris drivetrain and an impressive gearing range, this bike is designed to make climbing hills a breeze while still maintaining the speed you need to dominate on the flats.
  • NEVER MISS A SHIFT: Shimano Claris shifters provide consistent, reliable shifting in all riding conditions, so you can focus on pushing yourself. Unlike our competitors, who cut corners and use off-brand parts to save money, we use a 100% Shimano drivetrain. Why? Because Shimano makes the best drivetrain on the planet, and they're at their best when used together as a complete set. Please note that professional assembly is required to validate your warranty and ensure optimal performance
  • BUILT TO LAST: All too often things are made cheaply and break before their time. We believe that bikes should be reliable and built to last. This is why we use premium aluminum in our frames, and back it with our industry leading lifetime warranty. We use only Shimano components, which are backed by Shimano’s two year warranty and function better than competitors. Ride with confidence! PLEASE NOTE: ALL BIKES ON AMAZON COME UN-TUNED. PROFESSIONAL ASSEMBLY REQUIRED TO VALIDATE WARRANTIES!

As a beginner road bike, you can't ask for much more.
Updated after 9 months of ownership.This is my first bike in a decade, since middle school probably. I am using it to occasionally commute about 2 miles to work, and for cardio on weekends on paved bikeways. This bike required a fair bit of tuning to basically everything upon receipt which is typical for a new bike. That said, I think the biggest negative about this bike quality wise are the wheels, as they require more truing than I would like. Spokes randomly loosen and the wheel just doesn't seem to naturally be true. I can get them almost perfectly true, but the wobble incessantly returns. I had to learn a lot quick in order to get this bike into functional and quiet riding condition and keep it there. Overall though the bike works pretty well. All of the minor annoyances that I had with it could be tuned in order to fix except the front derailleur. I really don't like the triple chainring front crankset, as it seems like no matter where you adjust the derailleur to, there will be some chain rubbing. I am considering a double crankset setup because of this. All in all, only the wheels and the front crankset are the "you get what you pay for" negs that I can give this entry level road bike.The matte black is sexy as hell and gets compliments.FIT:I'm 5' 10.75" with a 33.5" inseam. My inseam is long for my height, meaning that I have long legs and arms for my height. I got a size large, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. It definitely works for me, but something tells me that a size medium might've been better. The large comes with a 120mm handlebar stem, so I replaced that with a 95mm stem to save me 2.5cm. I also have a 6' 5" wingspan so that helps as well. I'm honestly not sure if a medium would've been better for me. The problem is that my triceps seem to get more tired than I'd like, but I'm not sure if this is an encurance/fitness thing. I've heard that it's better to size down than size up when it comes to bicycles. Overall, I would just suggest that if you're at the top of a sizing range, DO NOT size up unless you have long arms (a wingspan that is 3"+ longer than your height), have a long inseam for your height, and plan on riding aggressively bent over. Otherwise, stick with the sizing chart and do not size up if you're at the top of a sizing range.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's nice and lightweight
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2018
I'm loving this bike as my entry into road cycling, coming from a 40 lb walmart mountain bike previously. It's nice and lightweight, feels sturdy though, sexy matte black finish and the saddle is comfortable enough with cycling padded shorts for the 10-15 mile rides i've done with it. The Shimano groupset has only needed minor tweaking to keep it shifting properly, but i think that's just standard cable stretching.

5.0 out of 5 stars It takes you back to the American Revolution
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018
I've ridden bikes before, but this one takes the cake. I rode this bike straight back to the 1700s. I didn't know that was even possible. I got the bike out it together and on my first ride the back wheel caught on fire and startled me so much that I fell off the bike and woke up in the middle of a gun fight. I was caught between dudes wearing blue coats and dudes wearing red coats. Giant cannons were blowing trees up and all sorts of chaos was everywhere. I started pedalling as fast as my out of shape legs could go... then boom I run right into a dude with a white wig on a horse. He looked me square in the eyes and said "Son, you look out of place." I said "Yeah bro, something here is off" then he told me to get out quick so I pedaled my little legs back to two days ago, but before that I pedaled to 1968 and invented the internet, and left all the money to myself in the future. Fast forward to two days ago... now the timeline is all messed up. But at least my wife still loves me and that argument about how I'm always blowing money on bike stuff never happened. Instead I wrote this review about a bike that changed my life, but no one will ever know because I changed the timeline.
