PERSONAL NOTES
This is one of those bikes that feels like a big step — but not for long.
Coming from LAMS bikes, it can feel a bit intimidating at first, especially with the added power and price. But once you spend a bit of time on it, it becomes surprisingly easy to ride and get comfortable with.
The slim design is a big bonus, especially for filtering through traffic. Adding forward controls can make a noticeable difference to comfort, particularly on longer rides.
It’s a bike with personality — and one you grow into quickly.
