Stanton Bikes, what are you thinking?
We feel the need to call out the behaviour of a brand here. Equipping seriously overpowered motors to bikes without disclaimers, then proceeding to tear about on public roads and countryside routes on the throttle?

As we move toward the autumn, we'll be reviewing a lot more mountain bikes and a fine example to land with us this past month is the Cannondale Moterra 3, an #emtb that Geoff Waugh says 'packs quite a heavyweight punch'.
