Fun and Fast Bike.
The SPOT SS V2 is light, fast, capable and turns heads. My only complaint (however small) was the handle bars and grips that come stock on the bike. The bars feel like a child bike handle bars (very small) and the grips don't feel quality. I ended up upgraded to the RaceFace Next Carbon bars (760MM) and ESI grips. I also swapped out the tires for Ground Control 2.35. My next upgrade will be the breaks.
This bike can climb! No question about it. Without trying I've been setting new PR's on almost every ride.
It's a fast bike! Perfect for the terrain of flowy up and down single track here in El Dorado Hills.
I couldn't be more happy about this purchase! It's the bike I want to ride each time I go out! Very, very impressed and now a big fan of SPOT.
