Samson
Samson is the official bicycle of 18 year NFL veteran, Super Bowl Champion, and 7 time Pro Bowler Lomas Brown; and 19 year NBA veteran, Piston power forward, and World Champion Rick Mahorn.
However, Samson is not just for big riders; it is our top of the line, 24 speed bike with upgraded brakes, tires, rims, and frame.
The new Samsons have a wider rear triangle giving you the option to upgrade the standard 26″x2.5″ tire to a 26×2.8 to a 26×4.0 tire or anything in between. (We like the look and performance of a Vee Rubber Speedster 26×3.5 on the rear and a 26×2.8 Speedster on the front.)
Big & tall is a common term these days. Not so common is a bicycle that can comfortably carry that person.
Enter Samson.
All the legendary comfort and ergonomics of a day 6 with the strength to carry riders up to 400 pounds due to a beefed up frame and upgraded components. You don’t have to be oversized to appreciate the upgraded features on the Samson.
