Apollo Forza

Good – It's a slick, comfortable, fast and responsive bike. It rides well and is quite comfortable on longer rides. The responsiveness does mean you have to watch out for a slight lack of stability if you're not paying attention but this is really nick picking. Overall I'm really pleased with this bike and happy to recomend it This is a light, slick looking, bike which rides smoothly and comfortably. Speed wise I've been able to easily keep up with my friend's racing bike on an 80km touring ride. I've also opened it up on long open roads and been really pleased with the result. It's a quick bike and have shaved minutes off my morning rides which are c45 to 60 minutes usually. Gear change is quite smooth and quick. Having the triple crank at the front is useful for hilly areas such as where I live. It brakes well and is very responsive. The carbon fork takes some of the bump out of the road and contributes to the overall light weight. The seat is quite conformfortable. Overall I'm very pleased with this bike, especially given the price range I've found it a little unstable i front but this is partly because I've come off a fatter tyre onto this bike. It generally rides really true but you just need to watch what you're doing. It's a minor issue but one I've noticed. It also needs to be wider in the corning than I'm use to but this is again partly a reflection of thinner wheels plus my limited experience

Excellent – Excellent bike after not riding much for 20 years. The carbon fork is nice and the tiagra gear set is excellent. Excellent price/vlaue Bought her in the pre-Christmas sale 2008 with $200 of free options. Bike is light, quick and smooth.
