520 is the classic steel touring bike, perfected. Every inch of 520 has been tuned to for maximum comfort, stability, and reliability, mile after mile after mile.


Steel frame

Bombproof frame with a steel-smooth ride.

Low touring mounts

Touring-specific mounts stabilize loads for multi-day trips, with no additional hardware required.

Touring geometry

We've spent more than three decades perfecting the 520 geometry to suit the heavy loads and high miles of multi-day touring.

36-spoke wheels

Super-strong 36-hole rims give 520 a stout foundation for miles and miles of fully loaded riding.

Fender compatible

Fender mounts allow for full-coverage fenders so you can ride comfortably in less-than-ideal conditions.

Reliable Shimano shifting

Dura-Ace Bar end shifters, ultra-durable Deore LX Derailleurs, and a Shimano M543 Trekking crank add up to the highest-value touring combination available.

9 speed

Performance-oriented gearing for performance-oriented bikes and riders.
