RR480
Around the tight technical and worn out
Hell’s Gate test track (without the hellish
climbs that make this venue the winter
extreme race of notoriety) the 480 was too
much bike. I could still circulate very nicely
on it, but stretching its legs wasn’t really
feasible for someone of my Clubman level in
these confined riding conditions. But again,
as before with this model, it’s something of a
500-lite. Great for wide-open spaces, but with
that 5-10% less bite than the biggest axes, so
it’s easier for the happy amateur to ride.
