Expirience with the FUJI Rakan 29 1.5

Ludwig Döhl The independent M-Link rear suspension of the Rakan 29 1.5 is proof that Fuji consciously wants to position itself beyond the mainstream. Especially in extremely steep terrain, this combination makes for smooth handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. With shifting systems, other manufacturers in the price segment under 3000 Euro continue to top up to the shelf.
