Expirience with the BH ULTIMATE 8.0

Ludwig Döhl When using the bike for on sporty excursions, the BH with its 100 mm on the fork is totally spot on. The moderate 68 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The BH Hardtail wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the ULTIMATE 8.0. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail.
