Expirience with the ARC8 Extra ST

Ludwig Döhl The Extra ST is an attempt to cross the propulsion of a CC bike with the skills of an enduro. The flat 64,7 degree head tube angle of the ARC8 Fully gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the ARC8 has a sporty seating position. One thing shouldn't be underestimated: In the uphill, the Extra ST with its overall sporty orientation makes it really hard for on demanding trails competitors to catch up. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
