                  Based on 120 kms riding experience
                  Very comfortable for 6 feet tall riders, the triangle positioning is rightly placed. The weight ratio and angle of view is perfectly balanced forthe riders who are experienced. Acceleration and not being jerky on gear shifts are the vital contributors to the riding experience as well as overtaking with such a wide and heavy bike also feels confident and under control.
