I’m interested in buying a DC bike. I wish I could say that I have had a chance to test ride a few of these bikes but given the bike shortage, I’ve been limited to mostly reading reviews and watching Youtube videos. I did get to test ride the Epic Evo which I really liked but they are now all sold out.
The Ranger has OK but not great geo. Reviewers have given it good but not gushing reviews. They have also indicated some mechanical/design issues. The cheapest Ranger build is $5000. If you’re going to spend $5000, I think the Epic Evo, Spur, and Ripley are better bikes. In addition, the Ripley and Epic Evo have some lower-priced/more-affordable builds. That’s why the Ranger didn’t make my top five.
