Ron Bruce and Karen More testimonials Travel Upgrade Option Download our full color catalog Hard-Boiled Originally designed and named for Adventure Cyclist, columnist Willie Weir, the Rodriguez W2 Adventure (or U.T.B.) has become a standard in the industry for the 'go everywhere' traveler. Known for its rugged construction and versatility, it quickly earned the nickname UTB or (Ultimate Touring Bike). The Rodriguez UTB Adventure is ready to conquer any terrain your heart desires. It is rugged, well-designed and with the Travel Option ($700) can pack easily into a 26" X 26" suitcase for airline travel. This bike used to come standard equipped with out travel option . Over the years, lots of our customers have requested a UTB without couplings. They wanted the ruggedness, and the ability to install really fat tires, or mountain bike tires for off-road, but didn't need the travel option that the UTB came standard with. So, for 2010, we are offering the UTB in both a travel version, and a non-travel version just like all of our other bikes. For the person who really wants a commuting/touring bike that isn't afraid of any terrain, the UTB is the best choice. With the choice of the travel option, the UTB is the most convenient full sized model to pack into the 26" x 26" suitcase available today. This is partly because of its 26" wheels. For these reasons, the UTB is still our number one choice of the 'go everywhere' bicycle traveller. How is the UTB different than the Rodriguez Adventure? The UTB uses 26" wheels instead of 700c, and the frame is built wider to enable the owner to install mountain bike tires if needed. That's the only difference. 26" wheels provide two big advantages for the go-anywhere cyclist: Rugged or really wide tires: Some people like the ability to install real mountain bike tires or really wide tires on their commuting/touring bike. 26" wheels make this possible. Super Portability!: If you travel with your touring bike and choose our travel option, the 26" wheels make packing the bike WAY easier. If you'd like to see how much easier, read this. This bike is rugged, well thought out, designed by someone whose life is bicycle touring, and hand-built right here in Seattle by a company with over 37 years in the business. If you want to ride without being limited to smooth, paved roads, this is your bike. If you want to go continent hopping, and bring your bike along for fun, this is your bike.
