Racers and spectators alike were treated to the highest performance suspended road bike ever at the 14th annual Sea Otter Classic cycling festival in Monterey, CA.

The all-new Rêve (pr. rev) road bicycle features and ultra-lightweight aluminum and carbon frame with the tuneable s.p.a. (Suspension Performance Advantage) shock absorbtion system. Tune your bike to Medium (100-150 lbs.) Firm (150-200 lbs.) or Stiff (200 lbs. and up) for the ultimate in lightweight, high-performance road cycling.

The name Rêve translates to "dream" in French, and this new bike from Klein will make your longest, harshest rides a dream. The 2.9 lb. frame provides 14mm of travel to take the bite out of the worst road conditions. The design also features negative travel so that your wheelpath will follow bumps as well as dips in the road, providing an unequaled ride quality from the lightest suspension frame in the world. A slightly taller headtube and longer chainstays combine to make this the ultimate bike for Centuries, distance riders and performance freaks.

Available in models equipped with Shimano 105, Campagnolo Veloce and Shimano DuraAce components, the Rêve will be available this fall for prices ranging from $1700 to $3000. Drop into your nearest Klein dealer and order up the latest revolution in road cycling, the Rêve from Klein.
