Being that you are in the Riv group, dissenting opinions are going to be hard to find here.
But, I have an Ogre and have ridden a ton of Surlys and owned 1 Riv. - The Ogre will be a little bit more stout but not by as much as people here are saying. - The Ogre will ride better with weight on it. I actually don't like the dead feeling much either but once there is weight on it, it feels great. - The Ogre fits much larger tires. - The Ogre is FAR more capable off road than the Hunq will ever be. Specially if you are on the tall side and might use longer cranks. - You won't cry a little bit every time you get mud or a ding in your paint with the Ogre. If you want" just one bike" get the Riv. If you are looking for something to take off road for extended periods of time get the Ogre. If they were the same price I'd still get the Ogre specifically for off road touring and MTB trails. - Ryan On Sunday, October 2, 2016 at 8:46:23 AM UTC-7, R Olson wrote: > > I'm trying to decide between a riv hunq or a surly ogre.
