Avenue Empire is the first Avenue on a full carbon frame. A model that has all the essential Avenue ingredients and even more. Empire is our lightest, most efficient, and most accomplished bike in this year's range. The lightweight carbon frame has been under development for a long time in order to live up to the Avenue name. This means, you can expect an exceptionally aerodynamic bike, which makes the daily commute a true joy.

Empire is available in 2 different variants. This model is equipped with a high-end Shimano Alfine groupset along with Gates Carbon Belt Drive which replaces the traditional chain. The Gates Carbon Belt Drive requires no lubrication and no maintenance.
