Husqvarna Light Cross 3 Review

Shimano has become the biggest component manufacturer for bicycles thanks to its gear, pedal and brake components. It's clear that the Japanese want to shape the E-Bike trend from this dominant market position. At steep sections, the somewhat weak Shimano motor requires a lot of initiative from the rider. The Shimano E7000 gives off a rough riding feeling. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

On rough terrain, the Light Cross 3, with its only average fork, lacks some control. In descending situations, the Shimano brakes require a lot of hand strength or, optionally, courage from the biker. With two pistons, they only brake poorly. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Husqvarna uses average parts. The trend is going towards increasingly longer main frames. With a very high Reach Value, Husqvarna meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the Light Cross 3.
