Despite first impressions,
the Pukka is not indestructible. You
can’t back over it with your
motor home. You can’t toss it
out the back of speeding pickup. But
ruling out extreme abuse, the Pukka
will take pretty much whatever comes.
| "The PUKKA is
virtually indestructible
. . . . There is almost
nothing to go wrong with
it . . . The money has
gone into performance,
soundness and safety,
rather than smoke and
mirrors."

Consider
the Pukka frame, for example:
Oversized tubing. Flawless welds.
Powder-coat finish. Beautiful!
And then there’s the wheels:
Split-rim construction. 8-bolt
pattern. Tubeless design with
built-in valve stem and precision
cartridge bearings. We could go
on and on, but you get the point:
the Pukka is loaded with highly
engineered, top-drawer components
that are not only built tough,
but which also look tough. |
