1. HOOK EXT Complete Bike 407,000 yen

I took the HOOK EXT test ride bike for a quick spin around the shop.
The first thing I noticed was the higher handlebar position, which made for a very comfortable riding posture.

Also, how easy it was to pedal. Maybe it's because of the relaxed posture.
It felt surprisingly easy to pedal and moved effortlessly.
The ride felt a bit stiff, but that should improve with tubeless tires.
I thought it was an easy-to-ride bike.

2. BEYOND + Complete Bike 297,000 yen

BOMBTRACK BEYOND + is a mountain bike specialized in bike packing and touring.
Its chromoly frame/fork has plenty of mounts for racks, cages, and frame bags, offering excellent load capacity and expandability.
The tires are large 27.5x2.8 with high air volume. It has the off-road capability to go anywhere regardless of the road surface, be it paved roads, gravel roads, or trails.

While it's not suited for riding for the thrill of it, like downhill, if you want a relaxed ride, like cruising leisurely and having tea at a scenic spot, this kind of mountain bike might be perfect.

3. AUDAX Complete Bike 396,000 yen

I rode the BOMBTRACK AUDAX for about 30km.

The first impression of this bike, named AUDAX after the long-distance cycling events (brevets) where riders cover a set distance within a time limit, was that the upright posture made breathing easy.

With its long head tube and geometry that allows for an upright posture, air flows smoothly into the lungs, making it feel very much like an aerobic exercise.

Despite being a bike with a comfortable riding posture, the frame felt quite rigid, closer to the feel of carbon than chromoly, making me want to push harder and go faster.

Indeed, it gives the feeling of speed when it matters most, precisely because brevets can sometimes be a race against time.

4. ARIZE GEARED Complete Bike 231,000 yen

This bike with flat bars and gears is easy to ride even in everyday clothes.
It comes standard with a front rack, but you might want to remove it if you prefer a lighter ride!
This time, I carried my repair tools in a Rapha bar bag.

The relaxed, less aggressive riding position means no tightness in the shoulders even with a backpack, making it ideal for city riding and commuting.

The thick 700x40c tires run stably on paved roads and grass. It's also great for riverside rides on weekends!

5. MUNROE CARGO Complete Bike 198,000 yen

I borrowed BOMTRACK's MUNROE CARGO test bike and used it for my weekend errands.The standard rack has an incredible load capacity of 25kg!

You can carry 50 cans of 500ml beer.Whether selling used clothes,buying firewood for a weekend camping trip,this load capacity is incredibly convenient for a life centered around cycling!

The MUNROE CARGO will surely becomea reliable partner in your daily life.

You can test ride each BOMBTRACK model at the store during business hours.

Additionally, for those who want a more extensive ride, we will also be holding a longer test ride event.
