After having an Echo control 1085 for abit, and after riding bikes with a Wheel base of over 1080 for the past 2.5 years i felt like abit of a change......
So hence the ashton, it has a reasonably long reach, similar to the echo but with a 1060mm WB it is considerably shorter, making it more flicky, for more street oriented stuff this bike is awsome, yet for the more trialsy moves it still feels as comfortable as the control.
