Sportive bikes differ from racing bikes in that they usually would have more gear combinations and fewer hi-tech racing features. Sportive bikes are perfect for long distance riding consisting of long climbs, fast descents and strenuous flats. Sportive bikes feature racing bike style handlebars but with geometry and gearing adjustments to aid in comfort and hill climbing. Dawes offer two models to suit the sportive bike rider with the Dawes Sportif and the Dawes Sportif SL models.
