Traded my AT XL for a new RX from Bentley cycle. (plus a small $ trade too). Because I am over 300lbs I felt it was the best for me. It is DEFINITLY faster than my AT was! And beefier at certain critcal points. If you can get one grab it. A BikeE is still one of the best "bents on the road! I have not gone on a longer test ride yet but just cruzing a few blocks, I have seen my average go from 15-16 klm to 20-21 with out trying (winter legs and all) last summer I was up around 18-19kms, I "expect" to be riding around 24- 27 k this year on this RX. From what I read this is about par forthe RX. I realise that other bents can get up to 35-45kms but I'm real happy with this! Larry Bent in Leduc

Do you not find that the RX pogos? I had trouble with this when I test-rode one.

I know my post is years later but for the benefit of any new or perspective bikeE owners that may happen upon this thread....If the air shock is pressurized for a soft ride then yes you will get pogo but if you add pressure for a firmer ride then pogo is eliminated

I concur the increase in air pressure eliminates "pogo'ing" in all but the steapest inclines. Getting off and pushing it up the hill is sometimes a welcome break, as new muscle sets are being used. I am, rather grateful, to get back on the BikeE RX after pushing it up a hill.
