Color is Gunmetal Glimmer, low gloss with just a bit of a metalic flake in it sorta. Hides water spots and filth vs. a gloss black that would show every single sin.
Honestly if I was worried what it looked like, I’d sound like Ubengineering who just worries endlessly about what the bike looks like than how it rides. This is a bike that I’ve pitched and has flipped end over end down the track, and I’ve picked it up, started it and finished a session. My rear Pilot race is smoked, and I wanted to take on some trails and falling on wet grass isn’t that awesome, so with the options available to me, I figured I’d mix it up and cover some ground off road.
