Expirience with the Radon SWOOP 10.0 HD

Radon SWOOP 10.0 HD Review
Ludwig Döhl
Because the Swoop in the aluminum version was one of the most popular enduro and bike park bikes, Radon has the bike 2022 for the first time also issued in a carbon version. Like all Radon bikes, the new SWOOP 10.0 HD also comes with a distinctive look. The rear end remains made of aluminum. On the scale, the SWOOP 10.0 HD with 14,95 kg looks good. Most Enduro in the price range until under 6000 Euro are heavier. The flat 63,5 degree head tube angle of the SWOOP 10.0 HD gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. At the seating position, Radon combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. Considering that in the range under 6000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! We like: 6 years warranty on the frame!
