The ride gets real nice on the full suspension Dew. It's still smooth, light and efficient, but it has a small travel suspension seatpost and fork to dull the edge off of asphalt riding. A 9-speed Deore drivetrain, quick wheels and comfortable, balanced geometry, this is the perfect bike for cobblestone streets, pothole hell, or rough commuter paths. Smart, swift, and in case you need it, a dash of soft.
