PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sette Forza Race 105 Carbon Road Bike

As is the case with any bike, the most important component its frame. Nothing else will have a greater effect on the ride than its very foundation.

The Forza Race uses the exact same 3K High Modulus carbon fiber frame and fork as the Forza Pro and Elite models. The only difference is in the component selection.

Fitted to the Forza Race is a full Shimano 105 groupset. As any bicycle mechanic will attest, 105 is a highly functional component group that has Dura-Ace DNA at a fraction of the cost. Sure there's a marginal weight penalty, but if you really think it's enough to make a difference in getting to the finish line ahead of everyone else, you're simply not digging deep enough.

The wheels are Mavic Aksium capped with top-of-the-line Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX tires. Sette's own quality components take care of the bar, stem, and an alloy seat post which is topped with a Fizik Arione CX Kium saddle.

Without pedals, a 57cm Forza Race weighs 17.68lbs.

Oversize/overweight charge applies to this item

Showing Questions 1 of 1


Q: I need to order this bike (or Vitale 1.O) with crankset 53/39? 50/34 is not good for me..Is that possible? what does mean in crankset specification: Shimano 105 5750 50/34 (51cm/90mm, 54cm/90mm, 57cm/100mm, 59cm/110mm) what is 90mm? BB width?

A: Both the Sette Forza Race 105 and Sette Vitale 1.0 come with 50/34 rings only. The 90mm, 100mm and 110mm measurements refer to the BCD—or bolt center diameter—of the chainrings on the crankset. You would need to know this measurement should you swap rings to ensure a proper fit.

I bought this bike a few months after I started riding road bikes. It was also just a few months after my husband bought the Sette Primo 2.0. We love our bikes! They are super lightweight for this price. The carbon frame is very comfortable and forgiving. The power transfer is incredible. It takes just a few strokes of the pedals to really increase the speed. The bike is very easy to assemble. Basically, everything that you need to put on are items that you would have to adjust anyways: handlebars, seat. The style is superior to almost every bike that we see on the trails. This bike also comes equipped with a special magic feature - it has motivation. Motivation to ride. Motivation to ride faster. Motivation to ride further than you ever have before. Within six months of owning this bike, my husband and I completed our first 100 mile ride and we are looking for more. Contemporary styling, modern materials, and terrific components has made Sette our primary choice of bicycles.

Ive been mountain biking for quite a while but this is my first road bike. I did a ton of research, subscribed to magazines, talked to bike shop employees, etc and at the end of the day kept coming back to this bike. I was really nervous buying my first road bike, let alone ordering online without riding or sizing. I went to local shops and rode several bikes that had nearly identical dimensions as the Forza race and it felt good. I compared the specs and this bike with a carbon frame and 105s is identical to most other bikes in the $3k price range. When I ordered the bike it came almost fully assembled and only took a little tweeking to get running. Ive put a couple hundred miles on it and really love it! The color scheme is definitly a plus too, looks even more awesome in person than on the website. Im writing this review for those that are on the fence ordering the Sette brand bike. I say go for it. I put a few Sette parts on my mountain bike build and they have always been solid as well. If your on the fence, save the money and get this bike or another Sette, you wont be sorry. Ken
