Perhaps the most excellent anti-crisis rubber model, while there is one BUT. Apparently, the quality is still jumping. I was clearly lucky - and I did not experience any of the listed problems. No red plaque, no hernias, no noise, no heavy wear (about 10,000 have passed so far). Has some pros: Predictable behavior on dry roads and in the rain, at low speeds and 150+ on the highway. Very quiet, moderately soft. Has some cons: Even in not very strong mud, he cannot row, although he rides quite cheerfully in the forest on wet grass.
