Expirience with the Superior XF 929 TR

Superior XF 929 TR Review
Ludwig Döhl
Visually, the XF 929 TR is hardly distinguishable from the Racefully of the Czechs. This is because the platform uses the same main frame. However, with 130 mm up front on the fork, an adapted rear triangle and grippier tires, it clearly stands out from its slimmer brother on the trail. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Trailbike of Superior suite the taste of most bikers. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Trailbike around under 4500 Euro that would suit you better.

Geometry

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