It is a low initial cost hybrid. If I was going to buy one it would be because I can only ride a couple times a year. Having sold the Escape 2 for a few years it was in for service more than the other bikes we sold the Escape 3 is a step down from that model so it really doesn't bode well.

We are in the 12 speed era now so 10 speed and above is going to still be of decent quality as you go below that the quality can drop quite significantly.

The Roll 3.0 in general is decent though the shifting was better and has gone down slightly however amongst the lower end stuff the Microshift Advent is a little better and not as bad as the bottom end Shimano offerings.
