Expirience with the ARC8 Extra Coil LAUNCH EDITION

Ludwig Döhl There are many rear suspension systems out there, but with a glider that the shock rides on, the Extra Coil is quite the oddity in the mix. On the scale, the ARC8 Extra Coil with 14,5 kg looks good. Most Enduro in the price range until under 6000 Euro are heavier. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the ARC8, the 63 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. In the saddle of the on moderate runs your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. 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. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
