Cons	No connected features or TFT screen. No rider aids on offer. Lack of adjustable suspension. Halogen headlights look and feel basic.	The seat is adjustable but short riders might find it a bit uncomfortable. The spokes wheel with tube tires is prone to getting punctured . It is not a practical daily commuter for city runs.
