The high total gear ratio transmission delivers astonishing speed

Surely that depends on the rider?

Also looks a bit like a GT to me

80mm forks, slick tyres, 26/36/48 chainset, it's an 'urban' MTB basically, like their X5, but with 2 wheels!

I guarantee it'll be hilariously expensive too!

It will be attached to the back of it like a fashion statement!

Am I right in thinking that the top and down tubes have been subtly manipulated to reduce fork clearance, brake lever clearance and standover? Now that is thinking outside the box! (says the boy with short legs who bent a brake lever on the top tube once).

โ€œAnyone who rides this sporty speed bike through the city or takes a short tour through the countryside will immediately attract a lot of attention

and will either be laughed at or have things thrown at them!!

they are refering to the speed of the actual drivetrain not how fast it makes you .

this has already been covered on here & i can guarantee if bmw stuck a badge on a new top end spesh for under rrp you would all slag that off.

they are actually pretty good value especially if you go in 6 months time after the summer most dealers will sell em off 25/30 off list .
