Low weight is one point that stood out to me since with day to day riding in the city I want something light enough and agile enough. ultimately i'll have to sit on one in person to get a real feel for it. hopefully at some show coming up.

Would you be keeping the knobby tires on it ?

knobbies will stay since on the weekends I plan to be hitting some trails plus it will come down to how it really feels on the street which can't be that bad, there's no way they'll choose knobbies that aren't somewhat streetable. it's just not how you position these bikes to sell.
