It's right for you if...
Â
Â
You want comfort and control but aren't afraid to kick it up a notch. With a 9-speed derailleur, powerful disc brakes and larger tires, you'll be ready to roll wherever the road takes you. While the Townie Path 9D EQ is more rugged, it's still comfy and easy to ride. Like they say, once a Townie, always a Townie. They say that, right?
Â
Â
The tech you get

Equipped with fenders and Spanninga front and rear bright LED lights.
Â
Â
The final word
