Beyond Smooth

Seven's bikes are known for their comfort, but the Axiom Race shows that the builder can make a pure race machine too. Larger-diameter butted ti tubes produce a bike with more snap than Seven's SG models. The company admits that the Axiom Race is built for discerning racers, who will find the degree of customization almost unparalleled.
