Was my kids first MTB many many years ago - I stripped and rebuilt it as soon as i got it home - The thing was bullet proof - he rode the K#k out of it for many years and when he got too big for it i sold it for more than i paid for it - Great to see the brand back on the shelves

Cool to see a manufacturer giving L-Twoo 'n go (on the gravel bike).

Its a great bike, especially at that price.
A friend has been using one for a few weeks and we are all very impressed - Green Belts, Mast and Block House were all handled with ease. 47mm tyres are a nice touch.

The rear mech does need a clutch though -  chain drop is a regular occurrence.

Looks like they did well to make a budget bike. Doing the basics right goes a long way. It will be heavy but as long as it performs.

Ja, I mean, it's not aimed at racers and BikeHub BikeSnobs (TM)...

It's an affordable option for 'normal' people, who ride bikes. I reckon it's a win

i just wish the entry level kids bikes can flip around those chain rings, small front and bigger at the back. it a shame to see them always having to struggle uphill when they are pushing gear ratios bigger than pogi on a tt bike.

My adventure started with an Avalanche Sirocco from Olympic Cycles, circa 1995.

They must have been a very new brand then, chro-mo all the way baby. hope the b@stard that stole it 4 years later got some fun out of it.
