Even though the Express is made with Columbus Airplane, it also features the Sampson Attenuation System (SAS) for exceptional vibration control.
The Express with SAS is so smooth and quiet that well know cycling journalist Patrick Brady (Bicycle Guide, Asphalt, belgiankneewarmers.com) was amazed at the difference.
He tested 2 identical bikes, with the only difference being one frame had SAS, the other didn't. Mr. Brady was blown away, stating the bike with SAS was the first alu bike he would ever call all-day comfortable!

The Express gives you pro-level performance, with an abundance of power and fast, precise handling.
Triple-butted Columbus Airplane tubes with the Carve carbon seat stays are an old favorite in the pro peloton for top performance. The Express frame is only about 2.6 pounds-for full bikes well that weight 16-17 pounds.
With a very competitive price, the Express lets you get top performance with huge value!
