X-Trail Adventure review

Oct 2018 · Robin Wilmott

Purposeful looks and a hoot to ride, just be prepared to spin up big hills. Buy if you want a tough bike that’ll shrug off luggage or rough surfaces with ease

Highs
  • Looks, big tyres, ideal adventure drivetrain

Lows
  • The Adventure’s weight tells on steep stuff

Good luck finding a bike that will cover more ground — on any surface — for your dollar. The X-trail fits into that ambiguous jack-of-all-trades category
