Expirience with the Radon SLIDE TRAIL 8.0

Radon SLIDE TRAIL 8.0 Review
Ludwig Döhl
A striking, independent look does not always have to be expensive. Radon proves this impressively with its All Mountain. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Radon, at 14,2 kg. Thus, the All Mountain of Radon is one of the lighter All Mountain that you get for 3299 Euro . You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Radon SLIDE TRAIL 8.0. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the SLIDE TRAIL 8.0. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the SLIDE TRAIL 8.0 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. With the shifting components, Radon fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 6 years warranty Radon sets the bar high!
