Depending on the customization, this mode...
"We want to deliver LEADER's worldview to people all over the world."
In order to deliver piste culture to as many riders as possible, the 721TR is a model that maintains its identity as a LEADER while reducing costs by carefully selecting components and pipes.
The 721TR, with its pure and clean form and dynamic operability, is the perfect companion for energetic young people.
・Budget ¥130,000~160,000-
First, let's build a custom 721TR bike with this budget.
The cost of the car is ¥121,000, and if you have the keys, lights, and other accessories, that alone will cost you around ¥135,000. In that case, you can spend around ¥10,000 to ¥20,000 for customization within your budget.
The first thing I would recommend is custom tires .
The standard tires on the 721TR are normal, for better or for worse. Tires are the only part of a bicycle that comes into contact with the ground, so the performance of these parts has a big impact on the ride.
Therefore, we will introduce selected high-performance tires that have a high staff usage rate.
CONTINENTAL GRANDPRIX5000 ¥11,000- in tax
More than 10 years have passed since the release of the GRANDPRIX4000, which was called the best tire, and the GRANDPRIX5000 has further improved its performance.
This product boasts outstanding rotation performance by minimizing the rolling resistance that is applied as a load when the tire rotates. Of course, this is a high-class tire that inherits the high durability unique to CONTINENTAL, which is confident in its durability as a brand, and combines the best driving performance and durability at a high level.
When I installed these tires for the first time, I couldn't help but notice how much the ride quality had changed. You can tell the difference even if you ride with your eyes closed. (I'm not exaggerating)
CONTINENTAL GATORSKIN ¥8,500- in tax
Another recommended tire is of course the CONTINENTAL GATORSKIN.
BROTURES's familiar nickname for this product is "Best of Skid Tires."
It boasts outstanding durability and puncture resistance among CONTINENTAL tires, and is one that will fully demonstrate its power no matter how tough the riding.
There are many people who want to try skid tricks on their first piste bike, and we recommend this GATORSKIN to you.
Personally, I recommend setting the high rotation performance GRANDPRIX5000 at the front and the highly durable GATORSKIN at the rear. (I also have this setting)
This custom cost total ¥19,500- in tax. Please feel free to use this as a customization that fits within your budget.
・Budget ¥170,000~200,000-
Next time, let's build a custom bike with this kind of budget.
If you have this budget, you will be able to do the customization that you want. It's good to be concerned about looks, or it's good to be concerned about driving performance.
If I were you, I would like to recommend a custom handle !
The drop handlebar that comes standard with the 721TR has a racy feel that matches the frame and looks cool, but if you think about it from the perspective of city riding, it's honestly difficult to ride.
Especially if you are riding a fixie bike for the first time. Skid is also difficult to practice.
A type of handle called a riser handle solves this problem.
・Budget ¥220,000~300,000-
Finally, let's try customizing it with this budget in mind.
With this budget, you can do whatever you want to a certain extent.
You can customize the crank that is often found on high-end models, or you can change the wheels to completely change the look, we hope you find the style you like.
How would I customize it if it were me?
I guess it's the crank after all! After all, it is the engine part that affects the running performance of a fixie bike. Considering that the tires and handlebars will also be customized, the budget for crank customization is around ¥100,000 to ¥120,000. If so, you'll have no choice but to add this one.
SUGINO SG75 CRANK ¥61,600- in tax
The SG75 CRANK is the strongest crank in the world, produced by Sugino Engineering Co., Ltd., which has been making bicycle parts for over 100 years in Japan, a manufacturing powerhouse. This is an NJS certified product used by bicycle racers and has a proven track record in track racing. This strong product, which connects the power of top athletes to power without wasting it, is an eternal dream for piste riders .
SUGINO ZEN144 CHAINRING ¥36,300-
Of course, SUGINO ZEN matches the SG75 CRANK. SG75 CRANK Also certified by NJS, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the most famous chainring in the world, packed with SUGINO's technology. Overwhelming precision and the strongest rigidity of each tooth. Most of the piste riders I like use ZEN.
SUGINO CBB-SG75 Square Taper BB ¥18,810- in tax
Finally, arrange the BB (bottom bracket) to complete the crankset.
This is a BB designed exclusively for SG75 CRANK. Since it is a cartridge type sealed bearing specification, it is maintenance free and maximizes the power of 75.
The total price of this SUGINO 75 specification crankset is ¥116,710-in tax . We managed to stay within the budget. By the way, SUGINO also has a monster BB called SUGINO SG75 SUPER CERAMIC BB , so further updates are possible. For your reference.
