MY RIDING

Stefan Abram, tech writer Although the hills don’t make it up very high, there still isn’t much flat around me in Sussex – but the ZX-1 Evo took it all in its stride.

On the hills which gently roll, I’d still be sitting in the high 20s (around 17mph) which is fast enough that the aerodynamic features remained more of a help than a hindrance. Then, down the other side, it would cut through the air like a knife, making the relatively shallow gradients feel a lot faster than they have any right to be.
