High build quality. the Gates carbon drive belt is super smooth and quite and offered very quick and easy shifting with the Hub gear.
No front axes mount points for mud guards.
Also with the hub gear the rear axel is much wider than a normal derailer type axel, this means fitting pannier rack…

Belt drive is amazing, why don’t more bikes use it and components are great for the price, so highly recommended.
You might want to replace the saddle and handlebar grips like I did, but don’t let that put you off, buy now!

Had the bike four years and it had been excellent.
Very reliable, especially the carbon belt gearing system. Lovely to ride, very quiet Vs a chain bike.
