Bicycling Magazine says (Motobecane) carves the trails and has "components normally found on bikes costing thousands more..."

Dirt Rag Magazine editor rides (Motobecane) in several 24 HOUR Races and raves: "In addition to The Wilderness 101, I completed the Wild 100 (kilometers) and a 96 mile Duo Class 24-hour race on the Fantom Team. The biggest compliment I can give the bike is to say that I didn't have to think much about it during those events. ...handling is well mannered and intuitive. Carving through tight singletrack is a breeze...the bike loves to go downhill fast. During the aforementioned 24-hour race, there is a long, fast downhill where I routinely blew by hardtail racers like they were standing still. When my quarry wasn't eager to yield the A line, I went for the gusto and passed on the B line..."

Joe M. "...Legit Bikes! I've ridden my Motobecane FLY HydroformALU for thousands of miles all over the East Coast, TN/GA/NC, Black Mountain, Pisgah, Nantahala...Silver buckle in the Colorado Leadville 100...Ride is incredible, kept up with NC locals on their Knolly full suspension down some black diamond trails"

Robson "...Frame is strong....this (Motobecane) one just goes and I used to ride it very hard in Ringwood. I even raced on it in Jungle and Ringwood..."

BB Thompson ". Bike is relatively light, very good value for the price. …All good parts. Just a really good bike for the money."

Joe H. "…a completely trail capable bike and I meant to prove it as I took it to Fruita, CO for it's inaugural shakedown within days of it's build up. It handled everything with ease, proved to be flickable, with a great balance of climbing and descending ability."

Chip "Over all I am absolutely, positively, beyond all my expectations, blown away by this bike. If someone would have told me how much of a difference this bike would make...I would not have believed them. It's light and fast. It goes up any hill as easily as riding on flat ground. It stops without failure and I never miss a gear."

IMMORTAL TEAM – ROAD (magazine) “a lot of bike for the money (reviewed at $5995 MSRP) ..a great climbing bike...the ride is solid...You would be hard-pressed to find a sweet machine that incorporates such nice gear as the Motobecane Team”

Stand on the pedals and the torsionally rigid carbon frame will deliver precisely metered power to the cranks, without a hint of your power being wasted on lateral movement.”

I've gone through several sets of tires and the wheels still run true just like when they were new.... The frame has proven to be responsive and durable and a delight to ride.... the best part, I paid about 30% of what a similarly equipped bike would have set me back at my local bike shop.
