This is our second belted (20 was the first). I chose this bike because it is a belt driven system, super light for what it is. Zero maintenance. Looks great and shows no signs of wear and tear after 2.5 years of usage. When my daughter finally needed a bigger bike - I once again looked at the market and options - I went back and forth - there are great choices for half the money but they are also great relative to what the market is offering. Belter once again stand out and stands above with its design, belt driven system internal 7 speed gear shifter and great geometry that is a great fit for 8.5 year and up. It was super easy to put together. I will add tubolito tubes like I did in the blender 20 - this way when we ride off road - it is puncture resistant. Love the bike. Worth every dollar. If you can afford it - the choice is clear - this is the bike.

Yesterday was first time riding new bike. My son completed 9 miles on rolling hills in 1 hour. Bigger breaks and disc brakes made him feel confident on suburban roads. Pedals should shave openings on side, like belter 20 pedals, to accommodate velcro bike pedal straps.

Cable clasps should be stronger. Cable in-front could be shorter for a cleaner look.

Lubrication should've been included. All Allen wrenches should’ve been included as a torque wrench set. Frame should be offered in carbon and/or titanium, with carbon components as a higher end option for bike enthusiast dads like myself.
