Expirience with the Carver STRICT 160

Ludwig Döhl When it comes to riding on sporty excursions, the Carver feels really good. Carver is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the Carver Hardtail. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the STRICT 160 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. Another argument clearly speaks for the Carver Hardtail: At a price of 1199,99 Euro, there is hardly any other manufacturer to spec such a good groupset.
