The maximum load is 114kg/18st. I suggest you find a stronger bike if possible or you use this as a goal to encourage you to reduce your size a bit. I'm assuming by your user name that there is some surplus and you're not one of those hunky chunky muscular athletic god like creatures........................Ooops, I got carried away a bit there. ;)

BTW, welcome.

My friend had one. Struggled to pull his 16stone around. I think it looks good for a modern bike, shame its so gutless, blame the government.
