    Picked up my 2018 black RS in a private sale yesterday, I feel I got it really cheap (relatively) Its overdue its yearly service, but hadn’t been used. Done about 100 miles on it yesterday and got to say there is miles between it and my 2009 (which I’ve now got to sell :()

    I test rode one early this year, but didn’t go for the sale. Loved it, but probably just just ready for the upgrade just then.

    These are worth purchasing for sure. I have these on my RS. Looked at everything on the market and believe these are the best.

    Had the arrows on my original 2010 (it got nicked) got a ‘low boy’ carbon mivv on my current 2009. Will give these arrows a go, would ultimately love a set of carbon akrapovics, but they don’t do them for this model.
