Expirience with the R-Raymon HardRay Nine 6.0

Ludwig Döhl The R-Raymon HardRay Nine 6.0 was designed for use in on sporty excursions. And that's exactly where it shines. With its balanced handling, riding the R-Raymon HardRay Nine 6.0 feels really intuitive. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The R-Raymon Racebike wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. On the downhill, however, the R-Raymon HardRay Nine 6.0 is left in the dust by its competitors. With 14 kg, the R-Raymon Hardtail tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market.
