Expirience with the Radon JEALOUS 8.0

Ludwig Döhl In contrast to the Jealous AL, the JEALOUS 8.0 has a light carbon frame. The CF version wants to convince with maximum propulsion. The weight of a bike is a central factor for riding pleasure on any kind of terrain. With 9,9 kg, the Radon is one of the lightest Racebike on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. With its balanced handling, riding the Racebike von Radon feels really intuitive. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the JEALOUS 8.0, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Radon to on sporty excursions a buying recommendation in the price range 2799 Euro range. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame!
