    John Bruno's review

    A great daily trainer for when I’m craving that OnCloud performance but don’t want to put miles on my Cloud Ultra Pros. A nice damp and protective ride, combined with a bit more ground feel make this my choice for long outings on technical terrain. Drains & breathes super well.
