Default Kalkhoff Pro Connect Owner Reviews

Reviewer: David Barraclough

Retailer: 50 Cycles

Purchase Price: 1495

Time Owned: 2 days

Terrain: Very Hilly

Strengths:
Build quality is very good.Good spec of Shimano gear etc. The bike is comfortable .The power delivery is perfect for cyclists who like to pedal. Steep hill climbs do require effort but I would say I could climb some serious slopes with this. My first 16 mile trip resulted in only one of the power lights going out.

Weaknesses:
The only thing I have found wrong was the wiring to the back light had bare wires showing.I injected some black mastic to prevent water ingress and shorting in the wet

Summary:
I am very impressed with this bike it looks fantastic (which makes you want to ride it). i would recommend you try one if you are considering a lengthy commute with hills. I am giving this a ten because it met everyone of the criteria for getting me to cycle to work every day.

Overall Rating: 10
