"This is definitely one of the beefiest, most durable bikes on the market. I'm a 6'5", 270 lb guy and after my previous bike finally crapped out on me, I was concerned about finding a bike that could support me. The (MDV) has been carrying me on my commute every day up here in a small mountain city in Montana, and I don't believe there is a more entertaining way to commute! Rocks, dirt, ice, snow, slush, and whatever other type of rideable terrain you can conjure up, this thing cruises over without hesitation. It simply goes wherever it wants, which makes it ideal for taking up into novel terrain that hasn't been mapped out yet. If one decides to acquire this bike, just be prepared to have everyone in your path attempt to stop you and ask about what you're riding. It rides swell, and looks the part too!"
