  • Awesome Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 21, 2019

    I am an experienced rider, I love this little bike, enough power for cruising the Interstates and nimble on the curves, I see people complain about comfort, I find it to be comfortable enough for what it is, a sport/touring bike.

    I'm a short rider and this bike fit me without any changes. It has plenty of power but is small enough that I feel comfortable riding it (I a new rider).

    Love it!
