Comments
The Xroad 2 does everything: it's at home in the city, commuting during the week, or on a rail trail at the weekend. Moustache says it was designed as an off-road bike that would work on roads, and we agree all our riders were confident on this bike, no matter the surface. Its power and balance when riding up hills and at slow speeds impressed us, while it was also stable and comfortable at faster speeds (the Bosch Performance motor assists pedalling up to 32km/h). For 2020, Bosch have improved the motor feel at the speed cut-off, we barely noticed its assistance reducing. The Moustache is excellent quality, with exemplary frame design and finishing. It has a wide 9-speed gear range and hydraulic brakes, a plush suspension fork, built-in lights, a full complement of mud and chain guards, and a rear rack. The Moustache is a highly versatile, high-end bike. This model is also available with a larger 625Wh battery.
