Scenery suitable for the filming of mythical movies, manicured rail road rides and adrenaline raising descents – New Zealand is still very much a hidden, distant gem in the cycling world.
One company that’s long known of these wares, Avanti, holds the luxury of designing bikes to suit the local, expansive terrain. Built to take advantage of these sprawling dream-like roads, the Corsa ER is for endurance riders: those seeking a little adventure and immense riding comfort without the cost to performance.
So how does this New Zealand brand hold up against the heavyweights in the industry? We grabbed the brand’s latest and greatest endurance bike – the Corsa ER 2 – and hit tarmac.

Comfiest frame ever from the Kiwi company
Designed in New Zealand, the Corsa ER is said to be Avanti’s most comfortable road frame to date. Visually, it’s a surprising fact with some of the largest diameter and squared tubing we’ve seen in recent time. But look to the top of frame, the thin seat stays, flat top tube and a 27.2mm seatpost diameter and the road soothing aspects are revealed.
Avanti has a reputation in offering frames with impressive stiffness to weight ratios. And while the Corsa is designed to offer comfort too, the frame stiffness and low weight remain.

Performance and flat protection don’t gel
