An ideal off-the-shelf, all-weather, all-round package — the Paralane is a tough act to follow
Superb comfort, well-integrated mudguards, great performance
The 1x gearing has some minor limitations
Mar 2018 · Matthew Page
Not the lightest, but an excellent all-rounder that delivers a smooth and comfortable ride
Neutral but sharp and rewarding handling
Sleek mudguard fitting
Quick and simple thru-axle design
Heavy wheels
Lack of tyre feedback
Bulky levers
