Motobecane Turino Review Bike Packing Setup
I recently took a gamble on the Motobecane Turino from Bikesdirect.com. Ive always been curious about these bikes at such a low price point and was willing to put down the $1000 to find out.
Out the box the bike weighs about 10kgs which isn't too bad.
Shimano 5800/105 2x11 Spd STI Drivetrain
TOP TRP Hy-Rd Hydraulic DISC BRAKE CALIPERS
SHIMANO 5800/105 DERAILLEURS
FSA ALUMINUM COMPACT CRANKSET is great for flattening hills
I swapped the cheap wheelset with a spare set of Mavic CrossOne. Also Cheap but fit the 35c tyres I'm running quite well.
All works well. Taking this bike into Lesotho for a bit of mountain bikepacking so itll get a good test in the next few weeks.
More info to follow but for now I think that if you're in the market for a $1000 bike this one is the one for you.
Just need to trim that damn steerer.
