Defender Bikes

New bike days are the best days! Kris has not been able to devote much time to his new Orbit hotrod (he's been very busy serving our country) but finally caught a break and now has some thoughts on his new ride:

"The weather finally turned in Florida and got some time away to put the bike through it's paces. It's been absolutely phenomenal. Put on about 20 miles per weekend over the past few weeks of techy singletrack. Climbing has been a breeze and super smooth through the rough stuff. Have had a few big hits coming off jumps or drops and the bike soaks them up and asks for more. Couldn't be happier with it."

Now that's what we like to hear 😁 Thank you Kris for the rave review and most importantly, thank you for keeping us all safe. GO NAVY!!! ⚓
