The rear Shimano XT and LX shifters made this bike very accurate when it came to shifting. The Motobecane was able to not only take the abuse but to also weather anything the trail had to offer.
There were parts of the trail at the Yuma Proving Grounds where it was nothing but rocks. Yes it is basically a XC bike, but the truth is, the bike can handle rougher terrain. I know its weird but it almost felt like I was riding this bike with the same efficiency as a road bike.
With it’s light weight, I was able to really sail on this bike. Stopping power provided by the Avid SD5’s makes you forget all about disc brakes. The proper combination of parts and purpose made this bike a great tool for any cross country rider and racer. Strengths: 23lbs…need I say more? Components are very impressive with brands like Shimano LX, FSA, Ritchey and Vuelta adorning the frame. I’ve ridden the same trails with the Fly Pro and another bike, and I have yet to experience a bike in my stable of 15 bicycles, that could climb as well as the Motobecane. For a 23lbs bike, this bike does feel solid. Testing Grounds: Fullerton Loop, Powder Canyon, Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma, Az.įirst Impressions: This bike is super fast! Anyone that gets on this bike will quickly see that the Motobecane Flypro is a very quick and nimble bike and reacts to any little direction you give it. I ride all sorts of bike,s fixied gear, All-Mountain, Tandem and recently BMX Price: MSRP of $1895 but have been known to be sold for as little as $895…with a SID fork!Ībout Me: I’m 195lbs of pure man. Kinesium 6000 Series Double-butted Aluminum frame, RockShox Pilot SL LongTravel Suspension Fork External Adjust, Avid SD5 Brakes and Levers, M-Wings Team Issue Wheelset (Alex XT16 Double Wall rims with Machined Sidewalls, Stainless Double Butted Spokes 32fr/32r, Alloy Nipples), Stylo FireX SL Cranks/Splined BB, M-Wings Team Issue 6061 Aluminum 160g Bar, 147g Stem and 270g Seatpost,Kenda Klimax Lite Kevlar Tires.

Though the specs on the site doesn’t match the bike…what we have is spec’d WAY better…For example the bike has FSA cranks, Rockshox SID fork and Vuelta Wheels.
