Expirience with the Bold LINKIN 135 ULTIMATE

Ludwig Döhl Like on all Bold Fullys also the LINKIN 135 ULTIMATE hides the rear shock, thanks to a the patented rear linkage, inside the frame. With a 64,4 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Bold Fully has a sporty seating position. With the All Mountain von Bold, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on demanding trails is better than the competitors in this price range.
