Expirience with the Radon SLIDE TRAIL AL 8.0

Radon SLIDE TRAIL AL 8.0 Review
Ludwig Döhl
The Slide is a classic in the online store of Radon and rolls 2023 with new aluminum frame on the trails. Thanks to a moderate 65,6 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. In the saddle of the in alpine terrain your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. With 6 years warranty, you can not go wrong.

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
