WIREDUnbelievably, ridiculously, absurdly lightweight. Easily maneuverable. Muted Nordic design paired with minimal cables makes it look cool as heck. You get what you pay for.TIREDE-shifter setup was a bit confusing. Might need a touch more oomph for longer, sustained climbs.At 37.7 pounds, it’s just a few pounds heavier than my traditional mountain bike.
