Expirience with the Propain HUGENE 2 CF Performance

Ludwig Döhl If you are interested in an All Mountain, you should put the HUGENE 2 CF Performance on your wish list. Because the direct mailers have relaunched their Hugene in 2021, taking all modern trends into account. The rear end with the closed frame triangle works like a charm. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Propain. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. All in all, in the in alpine terrain category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Propain sets the bar high!
