Velo Tout Terrain review

With a weight of 2010gr with the shock and hardware, the new Spark frame represent the benchmark for light weight. I was surprised by the ergonomics of the Twinloc lever positioning just below the h'bar thanks to the absence of the front derailleur. Basically, I guess it is impossible to find a better place for this. The efficency of the twinloc helps the bike to be a war machine on the smooth climbs. The front end is precise, the whole bike is precise to ride but it always offers a margin of error that for me was quite unexpected despite the carbon wheels and carbon frame. At this point I'm feeling free to look for some different lines just to have fun. On mixed terrain like the one of the XC world cup in Lenzerheide, switching to traction mode, the spark become a small XC bomb with enough traction on the rear wheel to ride on stones and roots without loosing grip.
