Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
Commuters who want rack, guards and lights sorted from the shop floor and don't want to think about it again.
Standout strength
85Nm from a Shimano EP6 mid-drive is genuinely more grunt than this category needs, so hills disappear.
The main compromise
It is a load carrying hybrid first. If you want anything sporty, look at the eSpresso CC lower down the range instead.
