"The Motobecane X4B 4.0 offers a nice package at an exceptional price. It doesn't look like Motobecane skimped on anything. You would be hard-pressed to find a better bike at this price"
"On the straight and narrow tucked in behind someone or in a group, this bike is quick. Descending is a hoot, it gathers speed quickly and blows down descents with ease. Drop the Le Champion into a tight turn and hold on. it\'s a nimble handler and took curves without issue. The strength of this bike is that it does everything well."
"One of our first concerns with the Le Champion was that it may be too light! However, the reduced weight of the bike makes accelerating and climbing feel almost effortless. IT IS THE LIGHTEST ROAD BIKE THAT WE HAVE EVER RIDDEN AT 6401 GRAMS, MAKING IT ULTRA FAST AND RISING THE BAR FOR SUPER-LIGHT RACE MACHINES."
"The tight controls and frame angles are so lively it\'s easy for the rider to find his zone. The Fly rider will have an overwhelming desire to sprint past the front row and take the lead. In or out of the saddle, the 20 pounder retains complete steering precision on ultra steep grades without a hint of bar wagging or over-steering."
"The FLY Team(29) swoops around big sweeping, high speed turns like a train on rails and motors across minute trail debris with the same powerful locomotion...The FLY Team(29) seems to go faster and faster...a deal that is hard to pass up, offering a high qualty frame with a rad parts spec."
XC RACE BIKE OF THE YEAR! "The more we do the math, the harder it was to believe the price at which the Motobecane package leaves the shop. Performance of the frame and parts spec is on the highest level"
"A light frame and good spec make Motobecane's XC Racer fast and fun. Typically, you find these parts on bikes that cost thousands of dollars more. it's perhaps the only bike specifically designed for budding XC or 24-hour racers."
