Sporty and low-maintenance, relatively light and with a wide gear range too. The VSF T-900 can actually do just about anything, including, of course, commuting. It’s a proper trekking bike that you’ll be happy to take on longer trips or even multi-day cycle tours with luggage. As for the tyres, there’s room for a bit more comfort, and a few small details could be improved. The only real drawback, however, is the high price.
