Expirience with the Bombtrack Bombtrack Cale

Ludwig Döhl If you're looking for a fancy bike with a steel frame, you'll surely get stuck with the Bombtrack Cale. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 13,8 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 2979 Euro .
