less than the Original, the Original again did not disappoint. Turning to our more experienced tester, who typically rides a bike that weighs about 7 lb. Once in the right gear, she surprised us by quickly making it to the top and kept on riding without a need to rest! We specifically wanted to see if the weight of the Original would catch up with her (the bike weighs about 10 pounds more than the more expensive ByK 450 she normally rides) so we put the Original to work on a slight hill in the neighborhood.

Within the first mile or so, she caught her groove and was enjoying the ride! Like any bike, she took a minute to adjust to the new brakes and shifter but didn’t express any concerns or frustration. She happily followed along with us on our neighborhood trails. Right from the get-go, our typically-timid girl rider showed no signs of hesitation on the Btwin Original. Although their experiences differed slightly, they both enjoyed the smooth ride of the Original and gave it two big thumbs up. One tester was a confident rider while the other was more timid and cautious. To see how the Btwin Original 500 performs, we put it to work around the neighborhood with two 9-year-old testers.
