Expirience with the Propain Spindrift AL Start 27,5

Ludwig Döhl Propain also offers custom options of the Spindrift AL Highend 27.5. Also good to know: Propain sells its bikes exclusively through direct sales. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position of the on extremely technical trails moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. Propain is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
