as an engineer, i tend to think things through, but i bought this on a whim after hearing good things. after using it for a couple of months, i have mixed feelings. it handles tough conditions without slipping, which is a big plus, but the ride isn't as comfortable as i expected—it transmits a lot of vibrations, making it less enjoyable for casual rides. it's durable and does what it says, but for the price, i was hoping for a bit more finesse. overall, it's okay, but not great.
- Pros: the grip is very reliable on rough surfaces, and it feels stable even when things get messy. i appreciate that it holds up well under pressure, and the courier called ahead for delivery, which was a nice touch.
- Cons: from what i feel, it runs a bit warm and doesn't smooth out the ride as much as i hoped; it's rigid, which can be jarring on longer trails, and the width might not suit everyone for optimal handling.
