It’s the end of the year.If you missed my thoughts on the impossible task of credibly naming an adventure bike of the year, please have a look at issue #19.
Still, I do get to sample some exceptional bikes, and I’ve always enjoyed a challenge, so I’ll stick out my jaw and name one new bike I’ve ridden this year I believe was exceptional.
Remember the criteria I set in 2016:
• Name one bike only. No honourable mentions or hedging of bets with classes or sections
• Chosen from the bikes I’ve ridden this year. There’s lots of great bikes I didn’t ride in 2017
• It’s a personal opinion.The bike which impressed me most in 2017?
