put street tires on itand enjoy the ride.. You may not like the bobbing of the suspension fork,
but that can be exchanged for a rigid one , or..

Once the price tag passes $999. .. they start to feature lock out mechanisms in the fork


Lots of other options are getting a wider 700c wheel bike with a triple crank, but if the weekends
include mountainbiking , too. then the tire swap will put you in both purposes.. for the same bike..
