Customer reviews: positive and negative points
The legendary label's two-wheeled bike, according to buyers, is very high quality and incredibly reliable. This vehicle is amazingly suitable for both children and adults. The bike has a great rollback, good grip on the soil, works silently. A huge advantage of two-wheeled transport is a reliable frame, on which the manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty.

In addition to the positive aspects, from the point of view of buyers, the vehicle also has some disadvantages.

The negative points include the insufficient size of the seat tube, which is not always enough to individually adjust for the growth of the rider.
