Highlights /
-
Load capacity
Low touring mounts front and rear stabilize heavy multi-day touring loads.
-
Supreme comfort
The smooth ride of ultra-durable butted chromoly steel makes 520 comfortable day after day.
-
Touring-specific drivetrain
Touring drivetrain combines mountain bike gearing with road bike smoothness.
-
Ultimate stability
Longer chainstays, a longer wheel base, and a lower center of gravity provide ultimate stability, even when the bike is fully loaded.
I love my 520. We have done 5,700 miles together, with lots more planned. Only basic maintenance in all that time. Great ride, great bike. If you are looking for something for the long haul this is it. Strongly recommend!

What people are saying /
So I've been riding a 520 since 1993. I've purchased a 2009 due to theft :( To me, this should be a standard bike instead of a niche product. It does almost anything you'd want a bike to do when the object is actually getting somewhere.
