Expirience with the Conway RLC 4.9

Ludwig Döhl Straightforward fast. The RLC 4.9 is a dream for everyone who wants to let it rip on race day. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Conway. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. At the seating position, Conway combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. On the downhill, however, the Conway is left in the dust by its competitors. For this, Conway has earned praise for their drivetrain. For 2099,95 Euro , other manufacturers usually spec worse shifting componentes. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
