π€ WHAT I LOVED

β οΈ WHAT FELT CHALLENGING
Initial concern around seat height coming from lower bikes
Slight adjustment period when transitioning from heavier, lower setups
PERSONAL NOTES
This bike quickly proves itself.
At first, the height felt like it might be an issue, especially coming from lower, heavier bikes β but after just one day of riding, that concern completely disappeared.
The balance is what really stands out. Whether riding or walking it out of the shed, it feels stable and easy to control. It doesnβt fight you β it works with you.
Itβs also incredibly comfortable over long distances, which makes it a genuine all-rounder rather than just a weekend bike.
π§ WHO THIS BIKE SUITS

Those looking for a mix of comfort, performance, and classic styling
Riders who want something capable of both daily use and long-distance touring
π« WHO IT MIGHT NOT SUIT
Riders wanting a super lightweight or minimal bike
Those unsure about moving up to a larger capacity bike
β FINAL VERDICT
Yes β without hesitation.
A beautifully balanced, powerful, and comfortable bike that delivers across the board. If youβre stepping into a bigger bike and want confidence as well as performance, this is a standout choice.
