Expirience with the NS Bikes DEFINE AL 130 2

NS Bikes DEFINE AL 130 2 Review You are mainly using it for on demanding single tracks? Then throw the NS Bikes Fully onto your favorites list. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the All Mountain of NS Bikes, the 65,5 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the NS Bikes DEFINE AL 130 2 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 15,5 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the NS Bikes engineers. For 3499 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs big.
