The Firmstrong Bruiser Prestige is a men's 26-inch beach cruiser with a Shimano Nexus 3-speed internal gear hub. The shifting happens inside the rear wheel, so the chain does not move to change gears. There is one gear cable. The three gears cover uphill riding, cruising and flat riding, and downhill or high-speed riding.
The steel frame is 19 inches and has an extra 2 inches of length compared to a standard cruiser frame. This gives the rider more distance from the handlebars and more arm extension. The top tube is thick, and all components are painted black. The paint helps protect the components from the elements.
The wide tires and spring saddle give a cushioned ride. The coaster brake works by pedaling backward, as on original beach cruisers. Seat and handlebar height and tilt can be adjusted. The bike arrives 80% assembled.
