The Verdict follows suit with the Forge...a good looking bike at an amazing price. The main difference is the compact drive on the Verdict. This gives the bike a pro model look. The rear wheel is a 9t cassette 14mm hub. The 25t sprocket stays out of the way on all types of riding. Learning to drop in at your local skate park ramps? No worries! This sprocket is small enough to drop in on smaller ramps without any hang up. If you really want to get after park riding we recommend the Team or Attack series.
