Novara Safari Disc XL Steel Touring Bike – Black
Perfect for those seeking a reliable companion for long-distance adventures or daily commutes, this pre-owned Novara Safari Disc XL Steel Touring Bike offers rugged durability without compromising on comfort or performance. Built for riders 5’11” and taller, its traditional XL sizing provides ample space for carrying gear or tackling varied terrain with ease.
Engineered for Endurance
The frame is constructed from high-quality 4130 chromoly steel, ensuring strength and resilience for loaded touring or off-road excursions. Paired with a chromoly steel fork, this bike absorbs shocks while maintaining stability under heavy loads. Equipped with Shimano Deore components, including a reliable 3×9-speed drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes (BL-T610/TRP Spyke), it delivers smooth shifting and confident stopping power in all weather conditions. The AlexRims MD19 alloy wheelset rolls on Vittoria Randonneur tires (700x48c), offering puncture resistance and a comfortable ride on rough roads or gravel paths. A rear pannier rack is already installed, making it ready to carry gear straight out of the box.
Condition & Maintenance
This bike has been ridden but remains in excellent mechanical shape. The drivetrain (chain/cassette/cranks) scores 7/10—still robust and ready for miles of smooth pedaling. Brakes (7/10) provide secure control, while tires (6/10) show moderate wear but retain plenty of tread life. The frame (6/10) has minor cosmetic marks but no structural issues. Cables and housing (7/10) are functional but slightly aged; we recommend a routine check before extended trips.
Why Choose This Bike?
Ideal for cyclists prioritizing affordability without sacrificing quality, this second-hand model offers touring-grade features at a fraction of the cost of new alternatives. The wide tires and sturdy build excel in loaded touring, commuting, or weekend exploration, while the alloy handlebar (570mm) and WTB Pure saddle ensure comfort over long hauls.
Local Purchase Bonus
If bought in-store, enjoy a 60-day limited mechanical warranty for added peace of mind during your setup process.
