Bike Perfect logoBike Perfect
The bike feels brilliantly fast on the tarmac, and I found its nature encouraged me to push hard on the road and carry good speed as I would with a road bike.
Cyclist logoCyclist
The Grail really impressed me with its sheer speediness, and although the bike isn't the lightest out there, it propels up hills effortlessly and traces down them with confidence.
