Review: Specialized Tactic 4 is a comfortable full coverage Trail Helmet with MIPS Evolve - Jessie-May Morgan
The Tactic 4 is pretty well-ventilated. The position and size of the 17 vents are well-thought-out with a voluminous cavity running over the top of the skull from front to rear, helping heat and moisture escape.

Review: Trek Allant+ 8S is a sharp urban commuter e-bike -
The Trek Allant+ 8S is a fast commuter e-bike that performs well in the city. The bike has a sharp and reliable handling and ample speed to keep up with city traffic. It has quick handling but the low-speed steering could be improved. It's well-equipped for its price, however, many users suggested improvements to its suspension system.

The review emphasises that the Trek Allant+ 8S is a high-speed urban commuter e-bike with a strong, hydroformed alloy frame and snappy handling.

Review: Trek Fuel EXe eMTB smashes rough trails & ... -
The Trek Fuel EXe is an electric trail bike with an extremely quiet TQ HPR50 motor, decent battery life, and a sturdy OCLV carbon frame. Despite its relative weight, the bike provides an exhilarating full-body workout. Its balanced geometry makes it perfect for tackling gnarly terrain at high speeds, and its moderate power output makes it excellent for uphill climbs. However, lifting its front wheel over obstacles can require a bit effort.
