LOVE THIS BIKE, LOVE THE PRICE, FASTER AND SMOOTHER!
By Amazon Fan
I don't leave many reviews but thought this was needed as no other reviews were available.
I received this bike a few days ago, bought it the day it went live on amazon.
I'm so glad I did go for this brand and this particular bike, what a machine! and before going further.....the price!!!
easily half of any other major brands out there for the equivalent! Ive tried the giant etc... and could not feel any better than on this one. The workmanship looks great and all components feel strong and well build
I am going about 4 miles per hour faster than on my 2014 giant defy which is exceptional, I don't have much wind resistance compare to the others and it seems the bike goes when you want it to! maybe its the carbon frame or aerodynamic? regardless its a breeze to go.
I ride alone most of the time and are so happy to have chosen this new kind of bikes more appropriate for us out there.
