Simplon RAZORBLADE 29 IV SL, SHIMANO XT 12 Review
Ludwig Döhl
The RAZORBLADE 29 IV SL is among the lightest hardtails on the market, thanks to its ultra-lightweight frame. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Simplon. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Simplon RAZORBLADE 29 IV SL has a sporty seating position. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Simplon engineers. For 5299 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential.

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