It's good that the frame looks a lot less-hideous but why then paint it like that.

There's something about them I just don't like - but I have no idea what!

Plus that charging port looks like it's the 2nd worst place to put it??

What's going on with the TT, triangle tessellated design thing and why doesn't it continue elsewhere?  Maybe it does and the fact they've painted that bit white means it loses the details?  It just looks a little odd.  I know it's not all about looks but my eye is immediately drawn to the straight lines/triangles from the TT in to the HT and the CURVED line from the DT in to the HT.  Most will decide whether they want to throw a leg over it on looks first...why make it awkward?

Charge port postion looks terrible and 5 LEDs is not enough.

If this was described on a podcast, it would still be hideous.

Vice of dissent here. I rather like the colour.

I like it. Paint reminds me a bit of my Yamaha tennis bat from the late 80s, and a hint of a nod to Klein Attitude - ness. Nice.

Yeah, I like the look of it on the whole to be honest. The shock being inline with the top-tube is nice, and the whole thing looks un-finnicky and clean. Almost Canyon-esque (!).

Like the frame
Hate the paint job
Why is the charging port in a little recessed area that seems designed to collect water?
Like the Fazua 60 bikes I’ve tried before.
Is the battery removable like the Transition Relay. (I thought that was one of the main Fazua 60 selling points?)

@big_scot_nanny

I always wanted one of those Yamaha rackets. Of course, it had nothing at all to do with the fact Gabriela Sabatini played with one 😉

slight deviation off topic but Sabatina fans will be forgiving.

Haibike, Lyke, Nduro, sounds like Chinese tat regardless of how good the product is.
