The Apollo Trace 20 XL suits taller commuters and recreational riders wanting an upright, versatile city bike with practical carrying options and straightforward maintenance.
The Apollo Trace 20 is built for everyday riding rather than all-out racing. Its urban-focused geometry places you in a more comfortable position than a traditional flat-bar road bike, while the low-riser handlebar gives you a clear view of the road and confident control in traffic. The 6061 butted alloy frame keeps the bike practical and responsive, with a clean integrated head tube and a replaceable derailleur hanger for easier long-term maintenance.
Out on the road, the 700 x 38c urban tyres offer a useful balance of efficiency and cushioning over ordinary city surfaces. The rigid fork keeps steering direct and avoids the bobbing feel of suspension, making the Trace 20 feel agile when moving through streets and shared paths. Its 24-speed Shimano EZ Fire gearing gives you plenty of range for flatter commutes and steeper sections alike.
This XL build is a strong choice if you need a larger frame, with a 22-inch XL size and a 105 mm stem. Practical details make it well suited to regular transport: pannier mounts provide a way to carry work or shopping essentials, while the fork includes rack and mudguard mounts. Mechanical disc brakes with 160 mm rotors add dependable stopping control, and the Kraton ERGO grips and dual-density saddle help keep longer everyday rides comfortable.
