Origin
The Pegas is Author's gateway hardtail — an accessible entry-level mountain bike that still delivers hydraulic disc brakes and branded Vittoria tyres. Its hydroformed alloy frame keeps weight reasonable for the spec level, and the RST oil-damped lockout fork enables both trail and commute use. Available in both 29" (primary) and 27.5" ASL women's-geometry versions.
