WOW, just have to lose a whole third off that weight now to match a Deuter Speedlite, oh and 62% of the price too. Well done guys.
Just have a dump before riding.
so you save a few grams on something that you then fill with 3kg of water… 😀
your missing the point…its a limited edition overpriced version of an existing model..folk are already chomping at the bit..i should imagine
now, when are the colour coordinated XO components out???
Omega Hydrotanium …. Sounds like the langauge used in adverts for ladies cosmetics.
Nice though
