Last month the co-founder coming from a new bike manufacturer visited our shop. The bike she presented was attention grabbing and its design is a bit out of the box. The goal on the Volagi bike should be to supply the recreational rider who likes long rides by far the most comfortable bike in the marketplace, but with the geometry was created to handle quickly similar to a race bike. Volagi Liscio certainly carries a "whoa" factor, featuring a Wishbone frame and Avid's mechanical disc brakes.
Volagi's unique split seat stays (Wishbone) allow for more flex in both the seat stays and it greatly softens the ride. That doesn't mean that the bike is whippy, however. The beefy downtube and chainstays offer plenty of stiffness for power transfer. Those stays and the fork also allow plenty of width to allow the rider to run wider tires, up to 28c.
Disc brakes offer great braking under all conditions, better safety and control, better stopping power, less hand fatigue, less maintenance, they're less expensive, simple to adjust, won't damage your expensive bike wheels, will brake even with broken wheels, you are able to run wider tires and/or fenders without worrying about caliper clearance plus it makes changing a flat easier.
Current race bikes can provide you with the performance, but beat you up on rides lasting 2 to 3 hundred miles or higher. The fantastic thing about these bikes, beyond the claimed better braking and comfort, is the fact that no proprietary parts are part of the bike. When hydraulic disc brakes for road bikes emerge, which happens to be inevitable, you'll have the ability to upgrade (though for the way the internal cabling is run, you might need to run the house down the frame). That, and you could slap fenders to the frame using the built-in mounts and ride all throughout the winter. Wide 25mm rims allow you to throw some 'cross or winter commuter tires on.
Two former Specialized Bikes employees founded Volagi. Robert Choi was the founder of VistalLite and when Bell Sports purchased VistalLite, he became the head of marketing and product development for Blackburn, Rhode Gear and VistalLite. He developed many break-through products for CamelBak and worked there for 10 years
In July Volagi's Demo Truck came to San Diego and El Camino Bike Shop for a week of demo riding. People were looking at and riding the Volagi for six days. At the end of the Demo week over 30 people had ridden the bike and three people had placed an order for the bike. As one happy new Volagi customer said "I trust the blokes at El Camino Bike Shop. I was ready for something different and they showed me the Volagi Lisco. One test ride and I was sold."
Volagi Liscio can be seen at the 2011 Interbike show in Booth 7149.
