Cycle Review

Ride quality is a relatively complex subject that factors in a bike’s style, sizing, comfort level, responsiveness, handling, user interface, and more. Overall, I was impressed with what the Tundra brought to the table, though this section will also contain a couple of relatively minor points of critique. Starting with the positives, I found the bike comfortable and enjoyable to ride. GOTRAX…

Ride quality is a measure of how a bike fits, how comfortable it feels to ride, how easy it is to operate, etc. All in all, the Juiced Scrambler stacked up well in these areas; we found much to enjoy and only a couple of minor points of critique. The first, most important aspect of the bike for me was its fun factor: this thing rips! Its motor’s strong, confident acceleration and climbing power…

As we have seen throughout the main test sections above, the Melody’s performance is impressive. Ride quality is another area where the bike stands out; in this section, we’ll examine its fit, ride comfort, motor engagement, handling, and user interface. Starting with sizing, Magnum offers the bike in a single frame size for riders between 4’11” and 6’3”, though this is somewhat dependent on…

The BER has a classic yet distinctive feel. The frame is made from aluminum, but the build quality is high enough that I initially mistook it for carbon fiber. The welds are impressively clean, and the overall weight reinforces that premium impression. A quick note: our test bike included a few preproduction quirks—namely, some visible external cables and extra routing points on the frame that…

Some brands dabble in fat tire bikes, but Mokwheel is an established veteran in the category, and that experience shows in how the Onyx is set up. It hits many of the right notes for what fat bikes are meant to be: stability, confidence, and a planted ride feel. The sizing is mostly excellent. I liked the long wheelbase, which contributes heavily to the bike’s stable, confident character. That…

The Lumen’s frame is excellent. Its Carbon HMF construction keeps things light and confident—our size L test bike weighed just 41 lbs—and it’s available in four frame sizes for a solid fit. Geometry checks all the modern XC/trail boxes, with a 65.5° head tube and roughly 77° seat tube (depending on size). It climbs efficiently, carves through tight turns with precision, and feels playful when you…

The MG Doble is many things, but fun is what’s at its core. JackRabbit has always captured that spirit in its rides, and it’s no different here. From the moment you see it, it looks different, and it rides differently, too. The look is great. There are four frame colors to choose from, and the frame itself has a sharp, distinctive style. The reach is a little long and can feel almost…

Urtopia’s frames always stand out (like the unique Urtopia Carbon Joy) , and the Carbon Fusion Pro is no exception. Its angular design even reminds me a bit of a saxophone emoji — not a criticism, but a fun, distinctive touch that doesn’t compromise performance. Four colorways are available: Deep Sea Blue (our test bike), Elegant Grey, Blazing Black, and Vial Orange. A 19” standover height makes…

This section addresses more subjective aspects of the Silence eRIDE EVO Speed—primarily, how the bike feels to ride.
