Airdrop say the Edit is all about keeping things simple and creating a bike that just works. Its lines are certainly less swoopy and more matter-of-fact than most of the machines here, skewed towards function over form, which may not win the fashionistas over. But if you can look beyond the industrial outline, there are good things going on. For starters, the angles feel great.
