    Summary

    Expirience with the Propain Hugene Start 29

    Propain Hugene Start 29 Review If you are interested in an All Mountain, you should put the Hugene Start 29 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. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,6 kg of the Propain Fully counts towards the lighter All Mountain that you get for under under 4500 Euro. The moderate 65,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Hugene Start 29 has a sporty seating position. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Propain sets the bar high!
