    Price Paid:  $500.00 at Online (UK)

    Summary:
    Rides well on shorter commutes. Shocks take up most bumps. On longer routes and rougher roads, the suspension makes life comfortable but extra weight can become a drag. The bar ends are a welcome feature & allow a good riding position. Good support forum on the web.

    Strengths:
    Cost & comfort. Aftercare & warranty issues very good (pedals beak a lot)

    Weaknesses:
    Pedals - got through two sets in 500 miles. No mudguards for wet commutes.
