That’s not to say it doesn’t corner, it does and with plenty of grip too, the roomy reach allows the rider to place their weight in the centre of the bike and really push this bike hard, rather than defending the front wheel as you might on shorter bikes. This is my personal favorite option and the one that I find to be the most useful. The steep effective seat tube angle means the seated position is comfortable, the effective top tube on my small is 597mm despite the longer reach. This option only allows you to make transfers from your computer to your Android device.

CALIBRE is about watches, instruments of daily wear marking time and frequently hitting a nerve, turning the wearer--anyone really--into an enthusiast. off-road.cc Editorial and general enquiries: info@off-road.cc I use “Moon+ Reader Pro”.

The geometry of this bike makes it a perfect platform for more aggressive riders and racers alike, it’s very well specced for the money and a bike you can jump on and ride straight away and have an absolute blast at the same time. The Deluxe R shock I found was a little overdamped for me and I found the shock slow to extend even with no clicks of rebound damping applied.

To fix the problem for my riding I added three volume reducers to the shock, this meant that the shock gave a more supple feel off the top (small bumps) due to less air pressure (although still a tad slow) and ramped up more at the end of the stroke meaning that high-speed rebound was faster and the shock didn’t get packed down either.
