  • £6k for deore 10 and£7k for envolio hd.
    The deore is a good price, usual fork issues abound but possibly good cable steering, well designed family box, matching 20" wheels, relaxed riding position and knowing cannondale, healthy dealer margins and lots of dealers will be forced into stocking one
    = will be lots on discount soon.

    Ugly but probably very practical for family users. Personally find most suv/cross type vehicles ugly but millions of folk still buy them. You can now get a toyota yaris cross! Like a regular yaris but on taller suspension and black plastic bits on the side, toyota will sell loads of them.

  • Was wondering why they went for a smaller rear wheel, spotted this:

    Rear rack will carry a third child, or 27kg of gear

    I can't imagine you'd see too many of these stocked in the UK as most CSG dealers are not cargo / utility bike dealers? They aren't going to want to give it floor space.

    Fork has 100hr service interval which I'm sure most will ignore until it implodes.

    What would have been cool, if they insisted on some sus, would have been them using their own Headshok for the fork. Or not used a sus fork at all.

  • I mean even considering short commutes thats like 3x fork services a year. That is pretty wild considering shops advertise these things to parents as zero maintenance (cargo bikes in general)
