The corporate just lately confirmed the DC100 off at EICMA 2022, which marked its European debut, as effectively.
Whereas its design could also be divisive, aren’t most designs? Assuming that you just just like the design, the Davinci DC100 seems to be promising on paper. The issue with paper, in fact, is that any firm can say what it likes about its merchandise, and each firm desires potential consumers to suppose that it’s providing the perfect product ever. As ever, we received’t know the way it holds up till unbiased reviewers begin getting their fingers on bikes and are in a position to put them to the check in the true world.
