Sonder Colibri
The endurance road bike for remote roads, the toughest climbs and the longest Audax. It’s the bike for riding fast and smooth, day after day. Take it to the Alps, ride Britain's most remote and broken roads, choose it as your partner for ultra-endurance racing. Awarded "Bike of the Year" by Cycling Plus magazine.
Sonder Colibri
Available in Aluminium and Titanium each giving you a distinctive ride feel.
Colibri Al
Light, fast and responsive. The Colibri Al glides up long climbs and it’s an assured and confident descender. The frame will take up to 36mm tyres or 32mm with mudguards. And talking of guards, there are all the mounts you need for guards and racks, which means this really is a bike you can ride every day of the year. And love it.
Bike Radar says: "Ride quality is outstanding", "a truly versatile year-round road bike", "an incredibly smooth ride", and "responds well when attacking".
Colibri Ti
There’s nothing quite like titanium, combining the benefits of other materials for a unique and uncompromising ride. Half the weight of steel, twice as strong as aluminium, and more resistant to fatigue and impact than carbon and aluminium. Plus, it doesn’t corrode, making it ideal for a life as a working road bike. And if you want big tyres, you can certainly go big with this one - there's clearance for 36mm tyres or 32mm with mudguards.
A 4 season endurance racer, Colibri takes on all road conditions making it ideal for the Fred Whitton or the mountain climbs of the Tour de France. This is the bike for Galibier, Ventoux, Glandon, Alpe d’Huez, Bealach Na Ba, Bwlch-y-Groes, Hardknott, the list is endless.
