Expirience with the Radon SKEEN TRAIL 9.0

Ludwig Döhl For a long time the Skeen Trail only was availible in an aluminum version. 2022 Radon is with the SKEEN TRAIL 9.0 but followed the call of the market and has finally brought the trail bike with a main frame made of carbon on the market. However, the four-bar linkage rear remains aluminum even in this model. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,75 kg of the Radon counts towards the lighter Trailbike that you get for under under 4500 Euro. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Radon. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Trailbike von Radon wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 3199 Euro . With 6 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
