    That LinkGlide CUES drivetrain is really nice stuff, though. It shifts really well and the gaps are reduced.

    this bike has a really long reach, so I opted for a medium in this one, and it fits me perfect.

    I really like how planted it feels.

    It does have internal routing through the headset. Some people hate that, some people love that.

    I'm not excited about the Suntour fork and 10-speed CUES, but since it's an e-bike you can get away without double downshifts and with fewer gears.

    they run really large, so make sure you get fitted. Their medium is bigger than most large bikes.
