i went the lesser known route and bought myself a Radon Slide Trail 10.0 which was in sale and was amazing value.. i think its a german brand and outside of germany and austria almost nobody rides them but for 2799.00€ for a Carbon bike with Fox suspension (the good gold stuff), carbon wheel set from newmen and more.. it felt like a crime not going for it

It's also about 2lbs heavier than it needs to be. 36lbs for a carbon enduro bike is ridiculous. My RM altitude, also carbon frame with alloy wheels is 34lbs with cushcore, and I could probably get it on the low side of 33lbs with carbon rims.

@mrvwbug44232 ай бұрын
IMHO on the Canyon, they should've used GX Eagle mechanical or XT and saved some money to either reduce the price of the bike or spend it on better wheels, AXS on a budget bike makes no sense. With the Propain, that 210x55 shock is a near deal breaker, that is is a terrible leverage ratio for a 160 rear travel back end, the Propain is only for people the size of Remy Metallier or smaller. If they were trying to save space in that linkage with the short shock, maybe go trunnion mount and run like a 205x65 to get a coil friendly leverage ratio.
