    Summary

    Expirience with the Radon SKEEN AL 8.0

    Radon SKEEN AL 8.0 Review Inexpensive fullys have become rare. With the SKEEN AL 8.0 l, Radon also delivers a full-suspension chassis for well under 3000 €. With 13,6 kg weight for the complete bike, the SKEEN AL 8.0 joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 3000 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. There are Trailbike in the price under 3000 Euro that have more potential downhill. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 2499 Euro . With 6 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
