Expirience with the Conway RLC FS 9.9

Ludwig Döhl Straightforward fast. The RLC FS 9.9 is a dream for everyone who wants to let it rip on race day. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Conway Racebike suite the taste of most bikers. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Racebike around under 8000 Euro that would suit you better. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 6499 Euro . The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
