It’s right for you if…
\n
You want a trail bike that’s ready to ride everywhere, and gives you a little extra fuel on the ascents. You don’t want to sacrifice the nimble feel of a traditional trail bike for a beefy motor, and prefer a refined assist that feels – and sounds – natural underneath you.
\n
\n
The tech you get
