I attended the WIMA event and wrote an opinion elsewhere but because I questioned some of the design and power delivery, I'm hesitant to air my view. However....

+1

Overall, I liked it but not enough to put a deposit on one (yet).

There were 23 riders & 4 bikes. To fit everyone into 7 hours & allowing for riding experience, change-over, etc we were restricted to 45 minutes.

I'm short so opted for a lowered version which has a modified frame as well as different forks.

On tarmac it was a hoot to ride but off road, I found the throttle too sensitive making it difficult to ride slowly. Later, I discovered I wasn't the only rider to complain about the snatchy throttle so it couldn't have been just my bike....
I also thought the suspension was rock hard. Someone pointed that the lowered version had almost no angle on the swing-arm.

I also dislike the location of the fuel cap. Fuel pumps are prone to drip & worse still, filling using a funnel by someone who doesn't care - I simply don't want petrol on my gear.

It would have been nice to discuss my views with CCM but there wasn't time for tinkering & we weren't at CCM's base in Bolton. It was just a matter of getting riders through the day.

I really appreciated the time and effort CCM made on a BH weekend & I will consider going to their base for a longer test ride. Just not yet.
