Dawes Discovery 3.0 Cross Bar 2026 Bike

The Dawes Discovery range is built for versatility - navigate busy city streets and off-road paths alike, a perfect all-rounder. Ideal for commuting, staying active, or simply enjoying new adventures.

Featuring a lightweight aluminium frame, paired with geometry built to be agile and responsive. This combined with wide puncture protected tyres and disc brakes - brings comfort and confidence to the rider, no matter the surface or condition.

The Dawes Discovery 3.0, Dawes' range topping model, brings Shimano’s latest 2x9 CUES gearing for smooth and precise shifting. A 46-30T chain-set and 11-36T cassette delivers a wide gear range. Braking is provided by the ubiquitous Shimano MT200 Hydraulic disc brakes, delivering great breaking modulation and stopping power through 2 piston calipers.

The bike's geometry is designed to offer a sporty yet comfortable riding position, with a raised head tube enhancing your line of sight for added confidence, and improved handling. Dropped seat stays to absorb vibrations, and 40mm-wide tyres help flatten out the riding surface.

Ergonomic handlebars, lock-on grips, and a padded saddle make long rides enjoyable, while the sleek, contemporary frame design combines style with practicality. With mounts for a rear rack, front and rear mudguards to keep you dry, and reflective tyre accents for visibility, the Discovery blends form, function and value for a great cycling experience.

Whether you're commuting through the city or seeking new paths on a gravel trail, the Discovery range delivers the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and durability for all your riding needs. Get ready to do more, reach further, and make every mile truly yours.
