Customer Images
Love this bike
Bought this bike a few months ago and am very pleased with the purchase. The bike is a “bullet-proof” solid performer on roads and trails. It grips turns on road and gravel like a champ. The battery lasts longer than I thought is would….I typically have 30-50% left in the tank after 40 miles. I carry an accessory Bosch battery if I plan rides over 40 miles of hilly terrain. The motor assist is amazing, very smooth and quiet…..I used to be an e-bike skeptic until I tried this bike…..gets you over hills like a pro and allows you total flexibility in how hard you push the ride.
Great purchase
16 miles on the trail with my first ride after purchasing. The combination of exercise and power this bike gives at together while riding is part of what makes it special.
Bentley od bikes
This is the Bently of gravel bikes. So responsive and comfortable.
