For city cyclists seeking a balance of style, performance, and practicality, the Driggs 8i Disc, a new model from Brooklyn Bicycle Co., presents a compelling option. This bike takes commuting and city riding to the next level, combining classic design with great engineering and features.

At first glance, the Driggs 8i Disc stands out with its sleek diamond-frame silhouette, a nod to traditional European commuter bikes.

The upright riding position enhances comfort, making it ideal for both short commutes and longer urban adventures.

“The Driggs 8 is truly a 14-year labor of love,” said Ryan Zagata of Brooklyn Bicycle Co. “Born from countless conversations with riders, endless sketches, relentless testing, and genuine rider feedback, it’s our heartfelt answer to the frustrations we’ve heard from daily commuters.”

Every feature on the Driggs 8 thoughtfully addresses the daily struggles commuters know too well:

• Fenders with mudflaps and an integrated chainguard protect riders’ clothes from road grime and splashes.
• Puncture-resistant tires make quick work of Brooklyn’s (or any city’s) streets, handling potholes and any other road hazards.
• Internal gearing eliminates dropped or noisy chains, offering smooth shifts under any circumstance.
• A wide gearing range takes on hills and bridges, making tough climbs a thing of the past.
• A lightweight alloy frame lets riders easily carry the bike to their final destination.
• An abundance of mounts provides ample options for carrying locks, bags, and essentials.
• The Driggs 8 combines functionality with timeless elegance that stands out wherever it goes.
• Hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable, immediate stopping power, even during unexpected downpours.
• The subtly upright geometry ensures riders arrive feeling relaxed and confident, never hunched over or uncomfortable.

Performance for the Everyday Cyclist

One of the defining features of the Driggs 8i Disc is its internally geared eight-speed drivetrain. Unlike traditional derailleur systems, internal gearing requires minimal maintenance and offers seamless shifting, making it particularly well-suited for city environments with varying terrain.

Hydraulic disc brakes further elevate the bike’s performance, providing responsive and reliable stopping power in all weather conditions.
