The Continental GT 650 feels enjoyable when I get the chance to take it beyond the usual city roads. Dual channel brakes give me more control when I need to slow down quickly, especially when traffic changes without warning. I also carry my phone on most rides, so the USB Type C fast charging port has been a welcome addition. It means I can keep the phone powered without planning around its battery. The bike still feels focused on riding, but these additions fit naturally into my routine.
