I love it. This my third multi speed bike with derailleurs. I am totally happy with this bike. Moderate price, 9 lbs lighter than my last bike, plus I shed 30 lbs off of me. So the whole pkg I ride with is almost 40 lbs lighter. Bike and me are like a rocket ship.

I had the15yo GLX version & this upgrade was comfortable from day 1. Fast, agile, gears are v smooth and it's slightly wider tyres are v stable but don't detract from speed. Brakes work a treat. Had an accident with a car that pulled in front of me. Dealer checked out the bike. Couple of minor scratches but not even a buckle. Love this bike.

Surprisingly fast (often matching road bike speeds), solid at high speeds thanks to an extended wheelbase, and surprisingly nimble in spite of it all thanks to the flatbars and clever geometry.
