Cannondale Tesoro Neo Review
Hybrid Bikes are in a league of their own when it comes to utility, they are able to handle the daily shop, the daily commute - as well as light off road performance, including firetracks and canal towpaths. Allowing you to choose whatever path you want to take, hybrid bikes - also known as adventure bikes have been a massive focus for bike manufacturers in recent years.
One of the most exciting additions to the electric adventure/hybrid bike market is Cannondale Tesoro Neo. This electric bike provides massive performance and utility, using a Bosch Active
Line Plus 250W motor with the proven Bosch Power Tube system - this bike has a real world
range of up to 72 miles and uses Cannondales proven Smartform C1 Alloy as its frame material.
Cannondale Tesoro Neo Frame
This bike was designed to do it all - and the frame is massively important in this bike's utility. The Smartform frame material has been proven over many years, it's lightweight and also incredibly tough - perfectly suiting the many different applications and uses of this bike, including off road use.
The geometry of the frame is also great, providing a comfortable geometry which is at home doing almost any activity. The top tube slants downwards, meaning there is plenty of space for mounts. The battery is fitted to the downtube of the bike, out of harm's way.
Like any electric bike, the Tesoro Neo is not the lightest bike to ride - but the inclusion of electric power means that rapid progress can still be made. The handling of this bike can be described as exciting, and handling is nimble.
