Gary applied Klein's new Command Geometry to the 2001 road bike line to improve rider fit and performance. He originally designed the Quantum geometry primarily for criterium racing, allowing for pedal clearance on tight turns. Command Geometry lowers the bottom bracket, moving the rider's center of gravity closer to the ground.
Streamlined pedals help maintain the cornering clearance that's crucial in a criterium race.
Riders also benefit from an adjusted steering geometry, which helps keep the handling balanced across the expanded fit range. The result is a Quantum that offers a more comfortable and stable ride at higher speeds. Greater Stability at Higher Speeds Command Geometry lowers the bottom bracket to bring the rider's center of gravity closer to the ground. This improves rider control at higher speeds. You'll discover that the new Quantum is not only better mannered, it can also significantly reduce your time on a century ride or road race.
