Sonder Santiago steel frame touring bike makes The Guardian's 'Bicycle of the Week'.

Martin Love has reviewed the Sonder Santiago steel touring bike for The Guardian. Built around a Reynolds 631 steel frame and equipped with a Sram Rival 22 gearset and hydraulic disc brakes, this bike is designed for durability and versatility, ideal for long-distance riding and rugged terrains.

They say

Most bike buyers overlook the frame's durability, crucial for globe-trotting adventures. The Santiago stands out for its steel construction, offering reliability and maintenance ease over carbon alternatives. Its modern geometry and ample tyre clearance ensure a smooth ride across various conditions, proving steel's timeless value in touring bikes.

Steel bikes have long been the choice for long-distance riding – and they don’t come more reliable or assured than this tourer from Sonder.

We say

The Sonder Santiago redefines the touring bike with its focus on durability, comfort, and ease of repair. Its steel frame absorbs bumps effortlessly, making it suitable for both harsh winter roads and leisurely rides under the sun. This bike is not just an investment for today but a companion for decades.

"Best of all, it’s refreshing to know that in several decades your Santiago will still be riding as well as it did today."

The Santiago by Sonder offers an enduring blend of performance and resilience, making it an ideal choice for riders seeking a bike that lasts. For a detailed look into Martin Love's insights on the Santiago, read the full review here.
