Expirience with the NS Bikes DEFINE AL 170 2

Ludwig Döhl Do you want to ride your bike on moderate runs? So does the DEFINE AL 170 2. When it comes down to handling, NS Bikes does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Enduro of NS Bikes is ready for the majority of singletrails. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 3759 Euro, NS Bikes provides more than the competitors in the same price range. Pay attention when selecting your size: the DEFINE AL 170 2 sizing runs big.
