Dec 2019 · Simon Richardson

We all have our regular routes, roads and loops that offer a known ride-time. We then choose a route depending on how long we want to be out for. Riding an adventure bike showed me how much more there was to find

Highs
  • Great riding position

  • Simple and well thought-out finishing kit

Lows
  • Sluggish on the road

  • Original tyres too heavy/slow
