The bike is so light that it took me a few weeks just to get used to it, initially it felt very twitchy at speed and quite scary. However I soon got the feel of it and it's a joy to take out onto the road. Recently got over 40mph down a local hill and the ride was so smooth although a little scary, couldn't help but think that a rabbit might come out of the hedgerow. The bike is so light and responsive that compared to my old hybrid it's like riding a thoroughbred horse compared to an old nag. The one thing I love is tackling steep hills, the reduction is weight is so noticeable the bike glides up, weight really does matter. The geometry of Mekk bikes is a little different to most road bikes so if you decide to buy take advice or even better take one for a test ride. Overall a super bike, my best purchase in years. |
