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
School run parents who want R&M's newest cargo platform with room for up to three kids and don't mind a straightforward derailleur setup.
Standout strength
Full suspension smooths out the front box's ride, and the Touring trim is the most practical everyday spec in the Packster2 line.
The main compromise
Only the Urban Grey Matt colourway was actually purchasable at check time. White, Chilli Matt, and the Vario/Automatic trims were all sold out, and the listing itself reads as pre-order stock, not ready-to-ship.
