This is good for the bike. It is easy to control and feels active. Nevertheless, the bike is better suited to smooth gliding than aggressive cornering. In terms of components, everything is there to make life easier for the rider: from the plus-size tyres to the powerful brakes and the harmonious suspension through to the remote-controlled seat post. Only the Yamaha drivetrain in combination with the double chainring on the cranks is not fully convincing. The drivetrain is not very powerful and changing the chain at the front is awkward.
Conclusion Upright comfort bike with high safety reserves off-road, lots of equipment and Yamaha PW drive.
