What is also interesting is to see 2 disc brakes up front....that is a lot of stopping power there!

I am 135kg, 6'2" (ex-rugby player, front row), who had to retire from rugby due to a serious neck injury. After a long hiatus of about 10years without a bike (or sport of any kind), my body went bit overboard due to years in front of PC (software developing).

 

Now I am riding a Giant Anthem X4 (2012 model) without any modications. Just a longer Reba XX fork in front. That is all.

Simplicity of a single speed? Does not compute when you look at the rest of the bike.

 

Personally I really feel for his knees going uphill.
