    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Thanks! What does your wife do for hydration on short and long rides?

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Thanks! That’s what I was thinking as well about the cage mount but that should have been pointed out to me. I hadn’t ridden with a Camelbak in a very long time and I will readily admit I drank a LOT more water this morning using that instead of a bottle So maybe it’s a good thing. I will...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    My Gazelle arrived and the small fits just fine. The seat post wasn’t long enough but I had already planned on trading it out for my suspension one that fits much better. I love the bike and how quiet it is. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: The computer tells me when to downshift. Very...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Thanks! I ordered the smaller frame from my LBS and hopefully will get it this weekend. I’ll post back and give my thoughts. Luckily they have a 2 week trial just in case it’s the wrong size.

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Thanks. This bike (and most of Gazelle I believe) have adjustable angle handlebars. They don’t sell a 50. But I will test drive both the 46 and 53 before buying one. If I remember correctly when I was on the 53, the bars were in the most upright position and didn’t feel as comfortable as...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Thanks! The + version has more torque, Class 3 (vs class 1) and is a lot cheaper. It’s a mid-step. I test drove the T10 mid-step and liked it so now you have given me food for thought. Down to 2 bikes to choose from!

    But maybe I should look at that one! Although I really refer a true step through….

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    The C380 HMB is $5200. I wish it was $3500! The C380 is less ($3900 here before state rebate) but it doesn’t have as nice a Bosch system, front fork isn’t as nice, and computer screen not removable and nowhere near as nice. Also less torque.

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Thanks. I think their specs are off. Because on all 3 smaller bikes, the reach was better for me in that it was closer. I have long legs but short torso.

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    My 2018 RadCity Stepthru has over 5K miles and while it’s still working well, I’d like an upgrade and more enjoyable riding experience. I have my sights set on a Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB. Denim Blue. I’m located in the US. I have test driven several Gazelles. I also test drove an Aventon...
