The geometry is a bit aggressive and this is needed for fast and compact rides.
The Siluro 6 comes with a full Sora drivetrain. This means that the front derailleur is a Shimano Sora 2-Speed, and the rear derailleur is a Shimano Sora 9-Speed. These are controlled by Shimano Sora 2x9-Speed paddle shifters. The combination of the Sora drivetrain translates to smooth shifting with quick acceleration capabilities.

Java's designs are always futuristic with smooth welding of the tubes. The Bicycle we test rode came in a Black gloss finish frame with very minimal and stylish graphics. The flat aero tube profiles along with the bladed Carbon fork and an integrated seat tube clamp immensely enhanced the aesthetics of this Road Bike.

This Bicycle comes in 4 colour variants; Titanium, Black, Chameleon, Red
Deca's Disc brakes handle the braking power on the Siluro 6. These brakes were performance focused braking components and powerful on flat tarmacs and balanced on wet roads.The stock integrated Alloy drop handlebar was of perfect length for optimum control over the Cycle on sharp turns and also gives a compact riding posture.

The Deca Disc brakes with Sora brake levers made the braking experience safe and responsive
The CST Czar 7x25C slick tires on the Siluro 6 are race specific tires built to be lightweight and reliable. The rubber compound on these tires makes sure it gives maximum traction on both dry and wet tarmacs.The stock Java Saddle was not only stylish, but has a level of support and cushioning that suits the rider on faster rides just as much as long distance rides. The integrated seat post clamp was shaped aero and made adjustment easier.

The strong and aerodynamic deep dish rims is a useful and aesthetic addition
This Road Bicycle comes with a full Shimano Sora drivetrain and Deca's Disc brakes. The lightweight Alloy frame with a Carbon fork kept the overall weight less at just 11.5kgs.
