“The Silex 700 functions as advertised. Shifting is smooth, braking is responsive and adequately powerful. At 5'7" height, the small frame is comfortable and efficient. For my terrain, I still have to walk it up some steep climbs. Riding it with good technique results in a responsive ride over moderately rough terrain. The steering is quite responsive, so for the best ride experience I subtley steer with sensitivity. This is a really good bike that motivates me to ride with a smile on my face.”
