Dawes says

The Discovery Twin tandem is, like the Discovery range of bikes, designed for road & light trail riding. The frame is made from oversize 7005 aluminium to keep frame flex to a minimum. 26" wheels keep the centre of gravity low. They each have strong 48 hole, disc ready hubs & are fitted with Tioga Comodo tyres. The gears are 24 speed Shimano Acera with EZ Fire trigger shifters. Comfort is a high priority so we include a suspension seatpost at the rear, super soft grips & sure grip pedals.
