Comfort and Confidence on City Roads
The ride quality is superb compared to Synapse 2 on city roads. Feels very stable and comfortable. The stock seat is also nice. I completed a 27 mile ride with ease on this bike. Highly recommend it for city rides.
pretty good for the money
Good bike for the money especially compared to other option only downside is brakes are not hydraulic
