Expirience with the Superior XF 999 TR

Superior XF 999 TR Review
Ludwig Döhl
Visually, the XF 999 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. With its balanced handling, riding the Superior XF 999 TR feels really intuitive. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Superior Fully, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. On the downhill, however, the Superior Trailbike is left in the dust by its competitors.
