Krypton Green is it's official colour

Personally I prefer cars without power steering as you feel a lot more connected with what's actually going on. You just get used to it, but it doesn't feel heavy at all really.

I think the daft colours really suit the exige. A bloke around the corner from me had the Lava Orange, which was nice - but the Yellow looks great too. Or there is white, but on the S version everything is that colour rather than having black intakes / spoilers - so you loose the storm trooper look a little.

I bought mine for me, but the very positive reactions from other people is an added bonus (usually kids waving or giving me the thumbs up - you can't help but smile).

Will it be as fast as an S "in the twisties" that is the only question

I thought it was Isotope Green?

Yellow with a radioactive spew tinge would be more appropriate!

Also - the black detailing looks better IMHO, rather than single coloured. I know a good paint shop who could sort that if necessary though.

Faster than an S through the twisties........I think my Cannondale is faster than an S through certain twisties

They keep changing the name, Isotope, Krypton, Spew - it's all 'lifestyle' paint to me.

Red looks best with black detailsing and wheels, oh look, a picture of mine.....

Battleship



It's the only way!

I do like the Orange though.

And the new Cup 260 is tasty...
