Shock Cycle (8838)

Shock Cycle


This is the third and most recent Technic motorcyle that I have added to my collection. This is a more lo-tech bike than the other two ( 8422 and 8417 ) but it does feature front and rear suspension, a two cylinder engine 'driving' the rear wheel via a chain and a centre stand that makes use of elastic bands. It is contructed from from black and grey pieces with a yellow seat and petrol tank.

There is not a lot wrong with this model but I don't think it compares well against the other two bikes which are nicer to look at. This is another good example of how the LEGO designers have improved their designs over the years.

Score: 5/10
