Bicycling Magazine writes,
“At its best, a road ride feels like flying — fast, effortless and fluid. In this regard, Javelin’s Cortina is more like a set of wings than a wheeled vehicle. We were impressed by the bike’s ability to nearly levitate over choppy pavement and provide instant, powerful drivetrain response. The Cortina, designed in the United States and hand made in Italy, handled intuitively, with almost no gap between the rider’s intent and the bike’s movement.”
