Thanks for your comment. Yes, honestly this bike is fantastic and behaves very well in high altitude. Seems it even has an 'altitude compensator' in its electronics, which at 4900meters is very useful.

So many bikes come through here telling us they had altitude running problems further west, interesting to hear.
