​The handling is neutral, the position moderately upright and the versatility off the chart.  With Plus bikes there is a lot of competition for the limited space behind the bottom bracket.  Tire, crank, chain and frame all have to share.  We use a solid-plate titanium chainstay yoke to maximize clearance, an approach that would be either too heavy (steel) or insufficiently strong (carbon, aluminum) with other materials.  And then of course the frame is most durable exactly where it is most likely to see abrasion-based damage, if spokes break or heavy mud sticks.  When such happens, a steel frame can lose a lot of paint and carbon can be dangerously worn-down.  After a couple minutes with a green scrubby, the Hoopla will look and function as new.
