New to the Cadillac Bicycles lineup for 2008 is the ultra smooth Cadillac Fleetwood Beach Cruiser. This state-of-the-art bike features the innovative NuVinci seamless shifting system. This beautiful cruiser was developed in response to customers that loved our Eldorado Beach Cruiser but wanted to have the ability to ride in places that were not flat. We could have simply put any shifting system on this very popular bike, but we knew that the Fleetwood deserved something better. So instead, we worked closely with Fallbrook Technologies and incorporated their award winning NuVinci Smooth Cruise system.The result is a bike that is much easier to shift than other derailleur based shifting systems. There are no derailleurs or clicks in the shifter! You simply twist the shifter to your desired resistance and you are set! The shifter is designed so that non bikers can easily become familiar with it. You don't have to worry about what gear you are in, because technically, there are no gears! If you want more or less resistance, simply twist the shifter a little one way or the other and you are set. Braking is accomplished with a hand brake combined with a rear disc brake.
