Yeah, you know, it really does. One thing, though: I remember when the automobile manufacturers used to say that tail fins aided stability. Riiiiiight. What's Specialized's explanation for those little snag points on the rear top of the Echelon?
LOL, tail fins , stability , I'm 57 y.o. and I don't remember those commercials , Gramps , however I have had an echelon just about a year , can't attest to it's impact resistance,
you do need to remove and handwash the pads evary ride or so , do this , no sweat in eyes in the FL . summer
