Still gonna test ride the Toughroad when it comes in just to see if it blows me away, but it would be hard to beat the Ogre at this point. Thanks for recommending the Ogre @ShortLegCyclist

The Ogre and Troll have a lot of fans and you can count me among them! In the event of an earthquake or Mt Rainier erupting causing the temporary breakdown of highway and other infrastructure, those are the kind of bikes I would reach for.

In the zombie apocalypse, though, it would be a Pugsley!
