Expirience with the R-Raymon HardRay Nine 1.0

Ludwig Döhl When using the bike for in light terrain, the R-Raymon Hardtail with its 100 mm on the fork is totally spot on. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to R-Raymon, at 14,73 kg. Thus, the R-Raymon HardRay Nine 1.0 is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 529 Euro . The moderate 70,25 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. Despite the criticism, an argument is likely to convince serious riders: the brakes are significantly stronger than other bikes for 529 Euro!
