Solid entry level road bike I’ve been commuting on this bike for 6 weeks and am quite happy with it for the low price. It’s a solid bike with some features I didn’t expect to find in such a low end bike. The disc brakes work reliably, even if they are low end mechanical instead of hydraulic. There’s no rubbing, and I think the through axle really helps prevent misalignment. The Shimano Claris setup is solid. Shifts are reliable though a little bit slow. I do like that it has a trim adjustment. However, if you’re planning…
Great bike that feels light and responsive
