Expirience with the R-Raymon HardRay Nine 6.5

Ludwig Döhl Aabove all, the R-Raymon Hardtail just feels great. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the HardRay Nine 6.5 is a very balanced customer. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Racebike of R-Raymon wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. On the downhill, however, the R-Raymon Racebike is left in the dust by its competitors. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 13,96 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. Anyway: the Rock Shox fork is a guarantee for riding pleasure in this price range.
