"Spent the whole trip on the King Zydeco 2, and it delivered on every terrain we threw at it. Even with full bikepacking bags, it felt solid and fast, a rare combo. It climbed like a road bike, stayed composed on rough forest descents, handled broken backroads without complaining, and still let us cruise comfortably at 30 km/h all day."

"One thing I really appreciated was the geometry that lets me settle into an efficient, aerodynamic position without losing comfort, especially on long straight sections. The integrated cockpit added to that feel: deep, stable hand positions and a clean, sleek look that just works." Marco Angrisani
