Expirience with the BH ULTIMATE RC 6.5

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the ULTIMATE RC 6.5 on long tours. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the BH ULTIMATE RC 6.5. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the BH engineers. For 1849 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential.
