Comments
The Xroad 3 does everything: its 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 works 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. We recommended the previous version of this bike and the 2021 model is just as good with one significant improvement. The latest Bosch Performance motor assists pedalling up to 45km/h, while the larger capacity 625Wh battery means the extra assistance doesn't reduce usable range.
