A lively small-wheeled MTB that's designed for big fun
Feb 2018 · Guy Kesteven
Well shaped, lightweight and efficient, but starts to feel nervy when things get nasty. Buy if you're after a mid-range, lightweight bike for trail riding
Lightweight and pedals efficiently
UK-friendly kit
Well-shaped frame and cockpit
Mainframe feels flexy when you’re working it hard
Tight suspension reduces traction
