I bought the bike to keep it for a long time. Well, first of all, the disc brakes (hydraulic) are very good and also you don't feel the jolting like with v brakes. The bottles are adjustable and have a lock, meaning they don't shake on the ground, for example, during long rides on the road. The saddle is not very comfortable but okay, it is also easy to ride without hands because it has a long straight handlebar. The cables pass through the bike frame. I use it for my afternoon ride and a bit on dirt tracks, for me it is excellent
