Mavic 517 rims | | Bottom Line: | What a sweet ride! This bike handles beautifully. It feels solid, like is was carved out of a solid ingot, yet the ride is not harsh. It loves to climb--has a very stiff bottom end that transfers all your energy into moving ahead. This is the best balanced and most solid bike I have ever ridden, yet it weighs in at about 23 lb. And it is a bargain. Too bad this bike isn't better known--it kicks the shit out of anything in its price range.This is definitely a 5-chili bike. Until I rode this one, I didn't know a bike could be so solid, yet ride and handle so well. | Overall Rating: |
