Balanced and assured aluminium endurance bike equally suited to long rides at pace and commuter pothole-bashing
Mar 2017 · Simon Withers
Superb all-round ride that should appeal to all sorts of riders. Buy if you want a sensibly priced, well-specced machine for most types of riding
Sporty and comfortable with good kit and wide-ranging gears
So-so non-cartridge brake pads
Nov 2016 · BikesEtc
A sure-footed, affordable choice for the endurance first-timer
Racy geometry
Efficient ride
Good pedigree
Some component compromises to reach low price
