Expirience with the ARC8 Extra Air FOX PERFORMANCE

Ludwig Döhl The Swiss bike Extra Air sets itself apart from the competition with a shock that glides on rails. The flat 63,5 degree head tube angle of the ARC8 oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the ARC8 Fully has a sporty seating position. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty ARC8 sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
