Expirience with the ARC8 Evolve HT SLX

Ludwig Döhl The rear triangle of the Evolve HT SLX works with a glider system to respond particularly smooth. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the ARC8 Hardtail, the 65 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 4500 Euro that would suit you better. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty ARC8 sets the bar high! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Downcountry-Bike von ARC8 sizing runs big.
