Looks like they just announced what's different about the new Liberté Plus:
https://zizzo.bike/collections/zizzo...g-bike-liberte


Pretty simple evolutionary improvements:


+ Removed chainring guard, switched to narrow-wide chainring to help prevent chain drops. (refers to tooth shape)

+ Still weighs 23 lbs.

+ Retains the 8-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain with big jockey wheel

+/- Retains 1.5" high pressure tires

+ Rust-resistant components (I believe this is new to this model, brought down from the Marino)
6 Max. load weight is 240 lbs. (I think it was 230 before?)

? Shifter says "newly redesigned Shimano Revo 8 grip style shifter" (What did it have before?)

- No more silver/red color scheme; only boring silver/black now :-(

- Price bump to $600. (was $560, IIRC)



Better evolutionary improvements than none though; I'm glad they're trying to stay competitive. I can't think of any 20" folder under $1,000 that can claim 23 lb. weight. Tern's sporty X11 weighs 23 lbs., but lists at $2900!
