HABANERO EL TORO Titanium Cross-Bike Review:-Mike
Having put about 300 miles on 8 different rides, I am ready for a Ride Review on this Bike.
Short – Simple review… no fluff, not going to make you read 3 pages to find out…. here is my main conclusion.
This bike is an Awesome Cross/Gravel Bike. Best one I have ever ridden. It is FAST, Quiet, Solid, very well balanced, and climbs everything a mountain bike can climb, but faster. Paired with the Perrilli all-terrain knobby Gravel tires, this bike can truly go on any trail on any trail surface and you will feel a strong bike/ground connection at all times. Not once yet have I felt this bike could not handle the terrain. This includes lots of singletrack riding in Harold Parker, Lynn Woods and other local technical parks.
It is better than my 2010 Habanero Cross-Bike which I put over 12,000 miles on it before I broke it. I have been riding cross bikes since the early 2000’s. I have owned metal frames, carbon frames and alloy framed bikes. Over 7 different ones in all. (3) I have retired (worn-out) My other (3) cross bikes I have now… will now be gathering cobwebs
EL TURO… THE BULL.
