Expirience with the Bergsteiger Makalu

Ludwig Döhl As a on sporty excursions, the Bergsteiger Hardtail ticks all the boxes. The lively character invites you to throw the bike around with ease. The upright seating position gives the Makalu a comfortable character. In the price range of under 600 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Racebike of Bergsteiger. We cannot emphasize enough, that, compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the Racebike of Bergsteiger has significantly better brakes.
