Mirraco Icon Moto Test
BMX Plus! magazine got their hands on a 2009 Mirraco Icon Moto for a test ride. It appears in the January 2009 issue and concludes with the following words:
"This bike is light and fast and can hold its own session after session, so if core quality is what you are shopping for this dirt jumping season, and you are 5'9" or under, then the Icon Moto should be at the top of your test ride list."
