Expirience with the BH ULTIMATE RC 7.7

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on long tours, the BH Hardtail really comes into its own. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Racebike of BH is a very balanced customer. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the ULTIMATE RC 7.7. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. In the price range of under 4500 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the BH Hardtail. The BH Racebike has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more.
